Brave Health

Brave Health is a virtual-first behavioral health provider dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, affordable care for mental health and addiction. The company primarily focuses on serving underserved populations, particularly Medicaid and Medicare recipients, who often face significant barriers to accessing mental healthcare. By leveraging technology, Brave Health delivers a comprehensive suite of services directly to patients through telehealth, including individual and group therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders. This model allows the company to connect with individuals in a timely and convenient manner, often engaging them before they are discharged from hospital settings to prevent gaps in care and reduce readmissions. The company operates on a national scale, with a growing network of licensed providers across numerous states, ensuring that patients are matched with clinicians licensed in their state of residence.

Founded in 2017, Brave Health has established itself as a key player in the digital health landscape by building strong partnerships with payers, including over 200 insurance plans, health systems, and community organizations. These collaborations are integral to the company's patient acquisition strategy, creating a sustainable and scalable referral network. The company's proprietary technology platform is not only a vehicle for delivering care but also an engagement tool designed to improve patient outreach and ensure continuity of care. This tech-enabled approach has demonstrated high success rates in contacting referred patients and getting them into treatment quickly. Brave Health is committed to a value-based care model, aligning its services with patient outcomes and working to lower the overall cost of behavioral healthcare. The team is fully remote and composed of passionate professionals dedicated to addressing one of the most critical public health challenges in the United States.
