INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Managed Health Services (MHS), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC), has announced a new
partnership with behavioral health management company Mindoula to
offer MHS members around-the-clock, personalized support to address

"It's estimated that one in five Hoosiers experience mental
illness each year. Every day, we see more people struggling in our
community," said Kevin O'Toole, MHS

addressing social determinants of health and providing a
personalized approach to managing these complex issues. This is
another creative way MHS is continuing to improve the overall
health and well-being of all Hoosiers."
Mindoula's combination of 24/7 support, tech-enabled management,
and measurement-based care has proven to lead to better outcomes
for patients. Using data and analytics to match patients with the
right program(s) for their situation and integrating behavioral
health care into a patient's primary care, Mindoula has
demonstrated the ability to reduce hospital admissions, emergency
department visits, and healthcare costs.

to deliver our proven behavioral health support and care solutions
across the state and engage MHS members in the flow of life to
help them effectively address their unique personal needs and
challenges," said Justin Lanning,

delivery is virtual or in-person, high-tech or low-tech, micro or
macro, our exciting collaboration with MHS will help us achieve the
Quadruple Aim while reducing health disparities and improving
health equity in Indiana."
