To Serve
Our mission is to serve patients, practitioners, and communities, because good mental health is the foundation of a better life.
Patients and providers come first.
The Problem
Access / Demand
- Over 40M adults/8M adolescents struggle with mental illness
- 20M adults/1M struggle with substance abuse disorder
- Too few practitioners with availability or that accept insurance
- Only 28,000 psychiatrists in US, and 60% are 55+
The Solution
Integrated Medical Services Organization
- Acquire/expand behavioral health practices in currently underserved areas (mid-market cities)
- Increase the number of practitioners available to patients by hiring mid-level providers (NPs/PAs) under the supervision of psychiatrists
- Provide psychologists and therapists at same location
- Manage PHP/IOP treatment programs in conjunction with mental health practices
The Problem
Costs
- Acute incidents carry huge costs (e.g. suicide, criminal justice system, hospitalization, treatment, lost work productivity)
- Drug/alcohol abuse costs US $500B/annually (NIH estimate)
- Early detection/treatment can prevent significant health complications and life consequences
The Solution
Operational Improvements
- Electronic Health Records (EHR) and cloud-based practice management platform
- Data/analytics to identify best practices for treatment.
- Adoption of new technological and therapeutic advances (e.g. TMS for acute depression)
- Insource Urine Drug Screens (UDS) lab testing with Physician Office Lab (POL)
The Problem
Stigma / Diagnosis
- Many people will not seek help out of fear or lack of understanding
- Lack of effective screening/information at schools, work, and Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) means many will go undiagnosed
- 50%+ of those with mental illness receive no treatment
The Solution
Outreach and Education
- Deployment of tech enabled screeners for PCPs and schools
- Free community workshops and informational partnerships
The Problem
50%+ of those with mental illness receive no treatment
The Solution
New approaches = Good mental health and good business
Market Landscape
Total spending on Mental Health care reached approximately $240B in 2020 (Substance Abuse – $42B), and yet nationwide only 26% of the need is currently being met.
Transformative Healthcare Solutions and Growth Opportunities
Acquisitions
Our partner practices have strong clinical record, “profitable” psychotherapy service model; limited current offerings with opportunity to add med mgmt., SUD, and institutional partnerships.
Improve Operations and Margin
Consolidated purchasing and mgmt. creates economies of scale and efficiencies at the practice level; addition of new, more profitable service lines contributes to margin expansion.
Implement Additional Service Lines and Outcome Measures
Addition of (1) Services: ex. SUD, Medication management, TMS (2) Staff: ARNPs, psychiatrists, supervisors for temp/provisionally licensed providers and (3) Outcome measures to improve care and generate additional revenue from encounters.
Hub and Spoke Expansion
Continue to build regional density and market leadership in existing and new markets via institutional partnerships with hospitals, ALFs, and schools and opportunistic ecosystem acquisitions.
