ValueOptions is no longer an independent company. It was acquired by Beacon Health Options in 2018 and is now fully integrated into that organization.

Behavioral Health Management: This involves managing and coordinating care for individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. Services can include treatment referrals, case management, utilization management, and provider networks.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): EAPs provide confidential support services to employees, addressing issues that may impact their well-being and productivity, such as stress, work-life balance, and personal problems. These programs often include counseling, consultations, and referrals to additional resources.
Care Management Services: This broader category could encompass various approaches to coordinating and managing health care for specific populations or individuals with complex needs. This could include aspects of disease management, utilization review, and other services aimed at improving health outcomes and efficiency.

In summary, while ValueOptions no longer exists as a separate company, its services and capabilities are now part of Beacon Health Options' larger and more comprehensive offerings in the behavioral health and related support areas. To understand the legacy of ValueOptions, it's necessary to review the current services of Beacon Health Options, understanding that many of those services likely incorporate the previous capabilities of ValueOptions.
