Virtual Behavioral Health Platform Features
98point6 primary care with behavioral health includes:
– Licensed therapy: Evidence-based psychotherapy helps diagnose and manage mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.
– Behavioral health coaching: Coaches provide patients with support for more common, everyday challenges like unmanaged stress, life transitions or illness.
– Self-paced digital programs: Members will have convenient, accessible ways to better understand their issues, motivate behavioral changes and build resilience on their time and at their own pace.
– Collaborative care approach: With coaches and therapists focused on behavioral support, 98point6 physicians may continue to address related physical symptoms and concerns, including medication management, with members who would benefit from more than just a single intervention in their treatment journey.
