The company announced June 22 it has joined Cigna’s behavioral health network, and will provide members with at-home treatments for anxiety and depression.  

Founded in 2017, Brightside’s treatment approach includes therapy, data-driven prescribing of medication and access to physicians, according to a news release.

“By increasing access through virtual care, customers can talk to a psychiatrist or therapist from the comfort and privacy of their homes,” Cigna’s behavioral health CMO, Doug Nemecek, MD, said in the statement.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
