Catasys, Inc. (OTCQB: CATS), a provider of proprietary big-data based analytics and predictive modeling driven health management services for health plans, announced today that it has signed a national agreement with Humana Behavioral Health to combine its substance abuse care management with Humana clinical programs to address the needs of members experiencing substance abuse challenges. Humana Behavioral Health is a subsidiary of Humana Inc.
Catasys currently provides its OnTrak-h Program to Humana members in Florida, Kentucky and West Virginia. This agreement covers Humana Medicare and Commercial members in all 50 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico. Roll out to the first states is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2015.
"We are pleased to have this opportunity to expand our relationship and provide assistance to Humana members in need," said Rick Anderson, Catasys President and COO. "We have built a solid track record of generating improved health for patients who battle with both behavioral health and medical conditions."
"Catasys has an analytically driven and comprehensive outreach program for members experiencing negative consequences from substance abuse," said Gregory Bayer, Ph.D., Vice President of Humana Behavioral Health. "Humana has found that the program has been beneficial for our members, supporting their efforts to improve their health and well-being."
The OnTrak program is designed to improve patient health for individuals with behavioral health conditions that exacerbate co-existing medical conditions, resulting in lower costs to the insurer.
