Ontrak Health Bolsters Strategic Partnership with Sentara Health Plans
MIAMI – Ontrak Health (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and tech-enabled behavioral healthcare company, today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Sentara Health Plans in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Sentara Health Plans is the health plan division of Sentara Health, an integrated health care delivery system, one of the largest health systems in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
“Because we place such a high value on providing evidence-based programs to our members especially those with diagnoses that often go untreated, we look forward to expanding our partnership with Ontrak to deliver better outcomes during this time of unprecedented need.”
This significant development marks the expansion of a five-year relationship to include a broader commercial population and is effective immediately. The expanded partnership more than quadruples the number of Sentara Health Plans commercial members who are eligible for the Ontrak WholeHealth+ program, and is the first of several expansion opportunities we are working on together to finalize.
Mary Lou Osborne, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Ontrak Health, expressed gratitude for the long-standing partnership and business expansion stating, “It is a privilege to work with Sentara Health Plans leaders prioritizing behavioral health solutions for its members, and we are thrilled to expand Ontrak Health services to a larger commercial population. We look forward to leveraging our innovative technologies and solutions in making a positive impact on the overall health and well-being of Sentara Health Plans members.”
Dr. Gregory Merti, Medical Director at Sentara Health Plans, stated, “Because we place such a high value on providing evidence-based programs to our members especially those with diagnoses that often go untreated, we look forward to expanding our partnership with Ontrak to deliver better outcomes during this time of unprecedented need.”
Ontrak will begin outreaching and engaging new eligible members this week into its innovative WholeHealth+ program, which seeks to identify and engage individuals with unaddressed anxiety, depression and substance use disorder and underlying chronic diseases through personalized care coaching and customized care pathways that help members receive the treatment and advocacy they need.
