E-therapy stepping up to fill mental health gaps
.
Telehealth vendor seized opportunity from Kaiser strike (HealthCare Dive):
“When Kaiser’s mental health workers went on strike to protest what they claim is Kaiser’s policy of understaffing their facilities in order to boost their profits, it left a void for the thousands of patients who relied on Kaiser’s staff for mental health services. Acting as a real-time testimony to the power of telehealth, eTherapi announced a plan last week to task its 10,000 online therapists to fill that gap, even offering Kaiser patients a discount…The service allows patients to have their insurance coverage verified immediately when they call to book a session.”
