“Lessons Learned: Challenges and Successes of New York’s Behavioral Health Provider Agencies During the Pandemic,” a report detailing lessons learned by New York’s behavioral health sector during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and offering recommendations on how New York State can be better prepared for future crises. Behavioral health agencies lost an average of $521,000 due to having fewer billable visits during the first months of the pandemic because they couldn’t see many clients in-person, and had to pay for unexpected expenses including PPE and technology upgrades. At the same time, the pandemic sparked a 77 percent increase in demand for behavioral health services.
