Service Line Intelligence | Behavioral Health
Behavioral health demand forecasts reveal that by 2026, 25.2% of Americans will require behavioral health services, which is 1.2 percentage points above observed 2021 levels. This proportion is likely to increase even more because of policies such as new screening recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
The increase in behavioral health disease burden has forced health systems, payers, employers, policymakers and financiers to consider different strategies, without a clear picture of what future demand will be, who utilizes behavioral health services, where utilization is concentrated (e.g., geography, care setting), which therapies are preferred by patients and providers, or how patients prefer to access behavioral healthcare (e.g., telehealth). Answering these questions with data-driven insights is a prerequisite for successfully navigating the evolving behavioral health market.
