Event Summary

HB 1085 resets Illinois commercial behavioral health reimbursement to 141.7% of Medicare on January 1, 2027 and it opens five revenue streams, not one. Most IL BH group practices are tracking the rate floor. The other four require credentialing, enrollment, and contract work that must run in parallel and the clock is already moving.

For the practices that move first, this unlocks sustainable practice growth, payer reach, and revenue that compounds not a one-time rate bump.

In this 60-minute masterclass, Jud DeLoss (CEO, Illinois Association of Behavioral Health), Jay Reeser (VP Payer Analytics, Neolytix — former VP Cigna, Network Director UHC), and Brian Morefield (Director of Business Development, Neolytix) walk CFOs and COOs through the policy vision for Illinois behavioral health, the full five-stream revenue model, what competitors are already doing, and the parallel workstreams that determine what your organization captures starting January 1.

What You Will Walk Away With:

    • What HB 1085 actually mandates and what the 141.7% floor means in practice 
    • Your revenue model across all five HB 1085 streams — not an industry estimate, your number at your provider count and payer mix 
    • How HB 1085 becomes a hiring and growth lever — why the practices that operationalize fastest build a competitive position that compounds, not just a one-time revenue bump 
    • A clear picture of what competitors are already doing — and what it costs to start later than they did
