To power improved behavioral health outcomes for people with Medicaid, Brave Health pairs innovation in care delivery and engagement with innovation in payment models. The Brave Health team employs nearly 200 behavioral health providers, including therapists, psychiatrists, peer support specialists, and nurse practitioners, all of whom work together to dramatically improve patient outcomes and reduce costs for health plans. The company takes a step-by-step approach to improving results – first, getting individuals into care quickly, and then providing continuous support to keep them engaged in their treatment. 'Our goal is to tackle this challenge head-on with a growing presence across regions, and a commitment to driving a systemic change in the way behavioral healthcare is delivered and paid for in the U.S.'īrave Health approaches mental health through the lens of engagement and outcomes. 'The demand for mental health services continues to rise nationally, yet access and engagement gaps are widening,' said Anna Lindow, CEO and co-founder, Brave Health. With nearly one in four Americans now using Medicaid, this gap leaves many without access to ongoing, critical mental health care. The percentage of psychiatrists accepting Medicaid has dropped to 35%, according to previous research reported by JAMA Psychiatry. Today, access to mental health services for the nation's most traditionally underserved populations is a public health crisis.

The company also announced its first value-based contract, with Molina Healthcare of Texas, a partnership designed to innovate on the measurement of and reimbursement for outcomes related to transitions of care for members with psychiatric conditions.
