About
In 2003, Catasys was founded with a clear mission: to address the critical gap in healthcare for individuals suffering from unaddressed behavioral health conditions that exacerbate chronic diseases. The company recognized that millions of people were falling through the cracks of the healthcare system - individuals who actively avoided seeking care despite suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders that were worsening their physical health outcomes and driving astronomical healthcare costs. Through years of research and development, Catasys built its proprietary PRE (Predict-Recommend-Engage) platform, which leverages advanced predictive analytics to identify health plan members most likely to benefit from behavioral health interventions. The company's OnTrak solution then engages these individuals through a combination of technology-enabled telehealth services, care coaching, and in-person support - creating personalized treatment pathways that people are actually willing to follow. This innovative approach has proven remarkably effective, delivering validated cost savings of more than 50% for enrolled members while significantly improving health outcomes. Today, Catasys operates as a national leader in virtualized outpatient behavioral healthcare, serving members across 31 states through partnerships with leading health plans and a network of over 12,000 behavioral health providers.
