Integration to Enhance Connection Between
Therapists, Health Plans and 6 Million Members
SimplePractice, an EngageSmart (NYSE: ESMT) solution and
industry-leading platform simplifying the health and wellness
experience for more than 185,000 solo and small group
practitioners, and Lucet, the behavioral health optimization
company for health plans, have announced an alliance to improve the
referral experience for solo and small group behavioral health
providers and the 6 million members seeking mental health
services.
“Solo and small group clinicians are the largest segment of
outpatient behavioral healthcare providers, but are often the
hardest to schedule with,” said Jonathan Seltzer, President of
SimplePractice. “We are laser-focused on supporting providers and
eliminating the hurdles both members and practitioners face during
the scheduling process. This alliance is the first step towards
making it easier to connect health plan members with in-network
clinicians in a timely, affordable way.”
Together, the SimplePractice API and Lucet’s Navigate &
Connect provide a turn-key solution for payers to optimize
behavioral healthcare access. Providers will receive client
referrals directly into their SimplePractice workflow, while
members can book immediately and avoid time consuming back and
forth on email and phone.
"This integration is a great addition to my SimplePractice
account,” said Teresa Maxwell, LCSW. “It speeds up the process of
matching availability and checking insurance coverage—making it
easier for me to get referrals and for clients to get care.”
"Bridging the gap between member demand for behavioral health
services and the availability of in-network providers is an
important step in enabling all members to have access to the
quality behavioral healthcare they deserve," said Shana Hoffman,
President and CEO at Lucet. "We look forward to making it easier
for independent providers to work with us to receive qualified
client referrals, expand access to care and improve patient
outcomes."
