Catasys, Inc. (OTCQB: CATS) and Health Alliance Medical Plans today announced a multi-year agreement to offer Catasys' OnTrak Program to Health Alliance members in need in Illinois. OnTrak provides support and guidance to commercial, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage members struggling with both medical and behavioral conditions.
"Support for our members takes many forms," said John P. Beck, MD, FAPA, Health Alliance vice president and senior medical director of Medical Management and Quality. "Adding Catasys services to help our members cope with life's medical and behavioral challenges is essential. Our goal is always healthier members. Catasys' unique form of on-the-phone coaching can provide just the right help and support for our members who need it."
The 52-week program will be available to Health Alliance members who qualify starting this spring.
"By working with Health Alliance to integrate medical and behavioral treatment in a patient-centric, long-term program that provides patients with individualized support and coaching, we are able to help Health Alliance members address their whole health while managing their cost for Health Alliance," said Rick Anderson, Catasys President and COO.
