About the company
Aptihealth provides virtual-first behavioral health care by partnering with health plans and health systems to deliver mental health services to their members, including children, adolescents, and adults. Its care model assigns a dedicated therapist and prescriber to each patient, supported by a proprietary digital platform that tracks progress, adjusts treatment plans, and gives patients access to digital tools, all within the partner organizations’ ecosystem. The company differentiates itself through its scale from health system and plan partnerships, a focus on higher-acuity conditions, a multidisciplinary care team, and a platform that coordinates treatment and progress in a virtual-first setting. Its goal is to expand access to high-quality behavioral healthcare for a large population by embedding coordinated care inside existing healthcare organizations.
