Ontrak, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTRK), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled behavioral healthcare company, today announced a continuing expansion of its strategic partnership with Sentara Health Plans in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Ontrak is thrilled to be expanding services with Sentara Health Plans, the health plan division of Sentara Health, an integrated, not-for-profit health care delivery system. This expansion represents a dual expansion of its Engage solution, a coaching-specific alternative for members who would benefit from ongoing care coaching to help them address physical and behavioral health challenges and social needs. First, Ontrak will offer its Engage solution to the existing Commercial fully insured members as well as self-funded members on an opt-in basis, enhancing the range of services available to these members. Second, the Engage solution will now be offered to the Marketplace membership, marking a significant step in broadening outreach and support. This expansion aims to ensure that more members can benefit from continuous care coaching to address their physical and behavioral health needs, as well as social determinants of health, and further adds support for closing HEDIS gaps in care for those members served. This move advances the partnership between Ontrak Health and Sentara Health Plans, following the WholeHealth+ expansion announced earlier this year.

Through targeted outreach to members in need, this expansion represents more than six times an increase in the number of Sentara Health Plans members eligible and identified for Ontrak solutions. The addition of the Engage solution is a result of Ontrak Health and Sentara Health Plans' partnership to offer Ontrak’s innovative Advanced Engagement System more broadly across Sentara Health Plans’ commercial population. Outreach is expected to begin this week for this new targeted population.

Mary Lou Osborne, President and Chief Commercial Officer of Ontrak Health, stated, “We are excited to expand our partnership with Sentara Health Plans and offer our Engage solution to a broader population. This expansion exemplifies the strong collaboration between Ontrak and Sentara Health Plans, and we look forward to continuing to provide innovative solutions and outcomes that support the health and well-being of Sentara Health Plans’ members.”
