Kyruus Network expands by adding virtual behavioral health
partners encompassing 30,000 providers
BOSTON, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Kyruus Health, the leading care access platform,
expands the Kyruus Network by integrating virtual behavioral health
providers, demonstrating the organization's commitment to
revolutionizing behavioral health care access.
This expansion of virtual behavioral health
providers on the Kyruus Health network makes it easy to fill access
gaps.
According to an annual survey by the American Psychological
Association, 56 percent of psychologists said they had no openings
for new patients. Among those who keep waitlists, average wait
times were three months or longer and nearly 40 percent said that
their waitlist had grown in the past year. In 2023, 10 million
searches were performed on the Kyruus Health platform by people
looking for behavioral health services.
Acknowledging the important role of virtual behavioral health
providers in today's fast-paced world, Kyruus Health strives to
bridge gaps and make behavioral health services more accessible
than ever before by expanding the Kyruus Network.
Positive Impact on Health Plans
The Kyruus Network
enables health plans to expand their dataset, close care gaps, and
boost access by making the provider directory actionable. To help
members find and access the care they need, the Kyruus Network of
behavioral health partners can be easily integrated within provider
search along with click-to-schedule functionality. Implementing a
"schedule now" call-to-action for speciality care amplifies these
benefits, evident in the threefold increase in conversions observed
for specialty care appointments.
Positive Impact on Hospitals & Health Systems
It's
not always easy for people to get the care they need in a timely
way, which is why 43 percent of C-Suite leaders say access to care
is among their five greatest challenges according to a Sage Growth
Partners survey. The Kyruus Network can help to address the
challenges of limited or overwhelmed providers and long wait times
by amplifying provider and appointment availability data and
boosting health system patient acquisition.
The innovative virtual behavioral health providers that have
joined the Kyruus Network include:
- Grow Therapy
- Array Behavioral Care
- Bicycle Health
- Brightside Health
- Clarity Pediatrics
- Hopscotch
- Override
- Rula
- Talkiatry
- Talkspace
By bringing this expanded network of over 30,000 virtual
behavioral health providers to health plans, hospitals, and medical
groups, Kyruus Health makes it easy to seamlessly integrate virtual
behavioral health providers into online provider directories and
fill access gaps.
"Kyruus Health is committed to promoting awareness and
accessibility to a diverse range of behavioral health services,"
said Gail Airasian, Chief Strategy
Officer at Kyruus Health. "Whether it's counseling, therapy,
psychiatric consultations, or medication management, the Kyruus
Network, combined with advanced digital capabilities, ensures that
behavioral health care is convenient, accessible, and inclusive for
all."
Together with these partners, Kyruus Health is contributing to a
positive impact on behavioral health access and strives for a
healthier, more connected world. The Kyruus Network is continuing
to expand these connections to address the varying needs of our
customers with partners also focused on bringing innovative care
access to specialties and needs across the country.
