Ignoring behavioral health conditions is a costly mistake.

Data is fragmented. Access to care is limited. Health equity and cultural concerns are often overlooked. When your members’ health is on the line, navigating behavioral health care without the right partner can have expensive consequences.

What if we could identify behavioral health issues—before your members even know they have them—and guide them to the care they need?

The good news is, we can.

We’re breaking boundaries to make behavioral health what it should be. Simple, proactive, fast and personalized.

At Evernorth® Health Services, our ability to connect advanced data and services across medical, pharmacy and behavioral health empowers us to proactively direct members to the care they need, when they need it. We do this all while providing you with insights that drive both quality care and cost savings.
