Ontrak Announces New Contract with Large Northeast Regional Health Plan

Ontrak, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled behavioral healthcare company announced the signing of a 2-year strategic partnership with a large, regional health plan in the Northeast, aimed at delivering a proactive, predictive and personalized behavioral health solution to its members in New York with chronic comorbidities and unaddressed behavioral health conditions.

Ontrak Health will provide this new customer with its WholeHealth+ solution, which uses advanced data analytics and risk assessment tools to identify high cost, complex members with chronic comorbidities and underlying, but unaddressed behavioral health conditions. Once identified, members are proactively engaged through a unique blend of human interaction combined with augmented intelligence and offered personalized care coaching support. Its Advanced Engagement System, coupled with an evidence-based clinical model, provides care coaching tailored to each member’s specific circumstances including behavioral health provider visits, as needed, and is designed to improve clinical outcomes and produce significant cost savings.

Ontrak expects its current outreach pool of eligible members to approximately double with the initial addition of this health plan’s eligible members in multiple lines of business within New York only, including Medicaid, HARP, (a New York State-sponsored Health and Recovery Plan), and Commercial HMO.

In addition, Ontrak Health will provide this new customer with its Engage solution, a coaching-specific alternative for members not eligible for WholeHealth+ who would benefit from ongoing care coaching to help them address physical and behavioral health challenges, and social needs without the need for provider intervention.

Mary Lou Osborne, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Ontrak Health, expressed enthusiasm, "We are excited to partner with this new health plan customer for Ontrak in offering whole-person behavioral health care designed to support members through their health care journey. Together, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the lives of members by providing personalized, evidence-based care, addressing members’ unique behavioral health needs."

Brandon LaVerne, Chief Executive Officer of Ontrak Health, added “I am thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with one of the leading Northeast regional health plan providers for their members in New York. This agreement marks a significant milestone for Ontrak Health as we work together to enhance access to comprehensive behavioral health care services for thousands of individuals across the region. Together, we are working collaboratively towards a launch of Ontrak Health’s solutions for this plan’s eligible members within 60 days.”
