Carrum Health partners with Lyra Health to deliver integrated specialty and mental health care. Published. March 3, 2026 Carrum Health and Lyra Health have formed a strategic partnership to combine specialty medical services with behavioral health support for employer-sponsored plans. The collaboration connects Carrum's bundled Centers of Excellence programs in surgery, cancer care, and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment with Lyra's mental health services, creating pathways for high-cost, high-acuity populations. The integrated model enables referrals in both directions, aligning care navigation teams and reducing reliance on out-of-network providers, where behavioral health spending ranges from 25% to 30%, and SUD costs can climb as much as 40%.

Matthew Eurey, Chief Commercial Officer at Carrum Health, stated, "Behavioral health and physical health aren't separate challenges; they're interconnected." He added that members need "support across the full care continuum, not just at the point of crisis." The partnership allows Lyra Care Navigators to refer members to Carrum's specialty network, while Carrum patients gain access to Lyra's mental health programs for step-up and step-down support. The companies aim to reduce fragmented care that often leads to preventable crises and higher claims costs, as nearly 80% of large employers report rising demand for mental health and SUD services. Sean McBride, President of Employer Solutions at Lyra Health, noted, "When members get stuck between services that don't talk to each other, it leads to preventable crises and costly out-of-network claims."
Carrum Health and Lyra Health have launched a partnership integrating specialty care and mental health services for employer clients. The collaboration connects Carrum's surgical, cancer and substance use disorder treatment network with Lyra's behavioural health services to improve care coordination and reduce costs. The bidirectional partnership enables seamless referrals between providers. Lyra's care navigators can refer members needing specialty care to Carrum, whilst Carrum members receive access to Lyra's mental health services during recovery. The integration addresses fragmented care delivery, particularly for substance use disorder patients, where out-of-network costs surge up to 40%. For mutual clients, the partnership eliminates separate contracting needs whilst delivering coordinated care pathways, reduced out-of-network spending through bundled payment models, and rapid access to treatment without cost barriers for members.
Lyra Health unveils clinical-grade AI for mental health care. Lyra Health, a mental health solutions provider, has introduced the first clinical-grade artificial intelligence system for mental health care. The system integrates with the Lyra Empower platform, blending digital tools with evidence-based therapy, and features risk-detection mechanisms that ensure immediate escalation to live care when needed. "Care innovation is core to Lyra's DNA," said Jennifer Schulz, CEO of Lyra Health. "We proved that mental health care works better with smart technology - starting with AI that matches people to the right providers and now extending support any time of day." Lyra's new Polaris Principles provide ethical and clinical safeguards for the responsible use of AI in mental health. This framework prioritizes human-led care, cultural sensitivity, and scientific validation. "AI built with proper clinical training and guardrails opens up a new path to care and extends the efforts of our amazing provider network as they deliver high-quality mental health support," stated Chief Clinical Officer Alethea Varra. Lyra's research division has published 23 peer-reviewed studies to date and continues to invest in understanding AI's role in mental health treatment.
Lyra Health introduces first clinical-grade AI for Mental Health. Lyra AI Provides 24/7 Support Backed by a World-Class Provider Network "Polaris Principles" Established for Safe, Clinically Rigorous AI Mental Health Services Lyra Health today introduced the first clinical-grade AI experience for mental health care. Built on more than a decade of real-world experience serving 20 million people around the world, Lyra AI is rooted in proven clinical outcomes, provider training, and strict safety protocols. Backed by a world-class network of providers, Lyra AI gives members access to mental health support anytime. "Care innovation is core to Lyra's DNA," said Jennifer Schulz, CEO of Lyra Health. "Over the last decade, we've built new care models that combine evidence-based treatment with accessible technology. We proved that mental health care works better with smart technology - starting with AI that matches people to the right providers and now extending support any time of day. We're extremely excited to introduce Lyra AI, a powerful new model for mental health support at this critical moment." Lyra AI builds on the Lyra Empower platform, bringing together Lyra's extensive AI background with its evidence-based and proprietary Lyra Care model, which blends digital skill-building between live provider sessions. Introducing Lyra AI: New 24/7 mental health support Starting today, new Lyra AI functions will be available through a pilot for select customers to help their members facing mild and moderate challenges like burnout, sleep, and stress. Members get instant, integrated support from a clinically designed conversational AI guide. Lyra AI features a sophisticated risk-flagging system that identifies situations requiring immediate escalation, with clear pathways to quickly connect a member with a live representative from Lyra's 24/7 care team. Beginning in 2026, Lyra will introduce conversational AI enhancements across the Lyra experience to deliver personalized, higher-value care and meet members where they are to build mental fitness. "We've seen how devastating the outcomes can be when people turn to AI that lacks clinical safeguards - the bottom line is that there is no replacement for true human connection," said Alethea Varra, Chief Clinical Officer. "We also recognize that shame, or simply not wanting to talk to a provider, can prevent people from taking that important first step. AI built with proper clinical training and guardrails opens up a new path to care and extends the efforts of our amazing provider network as they deliver high-quality mental health support." Lyra has introduced the Polaris Principles, a comprehensive blueprint promoting the safe and ethical deployment of AI in mental health care, ensuring that the rapid expansion of AI technology is grounded in clinical efficacy and human-centered ethics. This framework, which includes mandates to establish strict ethical standards, affirm that human providers remain central to care delivery, embed Culturally Responsive Care (CRC) to provide global reach, and insist on science-backed innovation, is crucial because unmonitored AI poses serious risks to people in crisis. "Clinical improvement is Lyra's north star," said Anita Lungu, VP of Clinical Product and Research, Lyra Health. "We explored a comprehensive range of clinical, ethical, and regulatory considerations as we designed the foundation and safeguards of our AI model. The Polaris Principles set an incredibly high industry standard that defines the type of clinical rigor that is needed for the development of helpful and safe AI-powered mental health services." Lyra Clinical Research has published 23 peer-reviewed studies to date examining the efficacy of the care it provides. With more than 20 million members globally through direct employer contracts and more than 100 million through health plan and partner relationships, Lyra continues to serve as a steward of strict clinical standards and critical and meaningful research. The company continues to invest deeply in clinical research to understand the impacts of evolving care models and will continue to conduct research on the impact of AI-centered care.
