Ontrak Health (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and tech-enabled behavioral healthcare company, today announced a continuing expansion of its strategic partnership with Sentara Health in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
This new expansion offers Ontrak’s WholeHealth+ program to eligible self-insured groups and follows on the heels of the commercial expansion announced on February 29 with Sentara Health Plans, the health plan division of Sentara.
Together, these two expansions initially represent more than 6.5 times increase in the number of Sentara Health Plans members eligible for the Ontrak WholeHealth+ program with further opportunity to grow as more self-insured groups are brought on board. Outreach has already begun for these new eligible populations. Ontrak Health and Sentara Health Plans are also jointly working to launch Ontrak’s innovative Advanced Engagement System more broadly across Sentara Health Plan’s commercial population.
Mary Lou Osborne, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Ontrak Health, stated, “This new development solidifies the trust that Sentara has placed in Ontrak Health, in offering Ontrak’s WholeHealth+ program to eligible Commercial self-insured populations. This is a testament to the strong partnership developed between Sentara and Ontrak over our 5 years of working together. I’m thrilled about future opportunities with additional populations to leverage Ontrak’s unique capabilities to serve members in need of behavioral health support.”
