Digital care company Amwell is launching a comprehensive behavioral health program.
Amwell said May 19 that the program enables payers and providers to integrate care, including virtual therapy and psychiatry, coaching and personalized digital mental health programs.
The program combines the digital cognitive behavioral health program of SilverCloud Health, which Amwell acquired in 2021, with virtual care from Amwell Medical Group providers.
"Increased demand for behavioral healthcare and a growing shortage of clinicians is resulting in a crisis that is driving worse outcomes and higher costs for the entire healthcare industry," Amwell Chair and CEO Ido Schoenberg, MD, said in a news release. "This new program meaningfully expands our digital care delivery infrastructure and enhances our ability to accelerate our customers' goals to meet the needs of their patients and members, while enabling them to close important gaps in care."
