properly treat patients with psychiatric concerns, yet nearly 60% of all patients seeking
mental health treatment are going to their PCPs.

Health Systems increasingly turn to
virtual health services to relieve their PCPs of managing behavioral health cases, yet this
can result in costing health systems – with a minimal return on investment due to low
reimbursement for behavioral health services.
Comprehensive Collaborative Care extends psychiatric expertise into the primary care
setting, providing patients with evidence-based treatment at scale. By combining an
extensive virtual psychiatric provider network, powerful evidence-based, digital mental
health programs with care managers, and a robust analytics dashboard, this team-
based model can meet the rising demand of mental health care, delivering a scalable
and profitable solution.
