More than 6 million active-duty & retired
military personnel, along with partners and dependents, will now
have access to Talkspace’s virtual mental health services
Talkspace (NASDAQ: TALK), a leading online behavioral health
company, is now available to Humana Military (TRICARE East)
recipients as an in-network benefit. Eligible members, including
their partners and teen dependents (13+), can now receive therapy
from a licensed clinician or psychiatric services (18+) from a
Board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner–all
virtually and privately.
As active-duty military service members continue to be deployed,
it’s vitally important that they feel supported to seek mental
health treatment affordably, privately, and conveniently.
Depression affects 23% of active-duty service members, with rates
of suicide increasing by more than 40% in recent years.
“Ensuring robust mental health services for active-duty
personnel and their dependents is more than just a duty. It’s about
fortifying the very individuals who stand on the front lines so
they can face the challenges of today with resilience, and support
for tomorrow,” said Erin Boyd, Talkspace’s Chief Growth
Officer.
“By making our licensed mental health providers available
through TRICARE East, we are removing barriers such as cost and
geographical constraints that may have historically prevented
military families from accessing care. This partnership brings us
one step closer to fulfilling our mission of making mental health
care accessible and affordable for everyone, especially those who
serve, or have served, our country.”
More than six million Humana Military members will have access
to high-quality mental health services, expanding Talkspace’s
roster of leading in-network payers, including Medicare.
Talkspace offers licensed therapists across all 50 states and
provides Humana Military members with the ability to choose
between, or seamlessly combine, live and asynchronous (e.g.
texting) messaging therapy modalities, including teen and couples
therapy, allowing users the flexibility to meet the unique needs of
their busy lives, lowering the barrier to care, and maximizing
engagement.
Humana Military (TRICARE East) active-duty and retired military
members, including their dependents 13+, can register for
individual or couples1 therapy at Talkspace.com/humanamilitary. In
addition to therapy, the Humana Military plan includes coverage of
psychiatry and medication support (18+ only), administered by live
video sessions. Copays vary by plan.
