About the Company

Cerula Care

Virtual psycho-oncology behavioral health platform

1) What it does: Cerula Care provides virtual behavioral health services for cancer patients by partnering with oncology practices. It handles billing so practices gain a new revenue stream at no direct cost to them. 2) How it works: After an oncologist refers a patient, a virtual care team of psycho-oncologists, health coaches, and care managers assesses the patient, creates a personalized plan, and delivers counseling, coaching, symptom support, and medication management, with psychiatrists giving recommendations to oncologists. 3) How it stands out: It embeds behavioral health into oncology care, manages insurance reimbursement for partner practices, and uses a collaborative care model focused on psycho-oncology to reach the large unmet mental health need among cancer patients. 4) Goal: To improve cancer care outcomes by addressing mental health needs while helping oncology practices grow through a no-cost, revenue-generating collaboration.
