SimplePractice and Lucet Announce Strategic Agreement to Boost Access to Behavioral Healthcare

Integration to Enhance Connection Between Therapists, Health Plans and 6 Million Members

SimplePractice, an EngageSmart (NYSE: ESMT) solution and industry-leading platform simplifying the health and wellness experience for more than 185,000 solo and small group practitioners, and Lucet, the behavioral health optimization company for health plans, have announced an alliance to improve the referral experience for solo and small group behavioral health providers and the 6 million members seeking mental health services.

“Solo and small group clinicians are the largest segment of outpatient behavioral healthcare providers, but are often the hardest to schedule with,” said Jonathan Seltzer, President of SimplePractice. “We are laser-focused on supporting providers and eliminating the hurdles both members and practitioners face during the scheduling process. This alliance is the first step towards making it easier to connect health plan members with in-network clinicians in a timely, affordable way.”

Together, the SimplePractice API and Lucet’s Navigate & Connect provide a turn-key solution for payers to optimize behavioral healthcare access. Providers will receive client referrals directly into their SimplePractice workflow, while members can book immediately and avoid time consuming back and forth on email and phone.

"This integration is a great addition to my SimplePractice account,” said Teresa Maxwell, LCSW. “It speeds up the process of matching availability and checking insurance coverage—making it easier for me to get referrals and for clients to get care.”

"Bridging the gap between member demand for behavioral health services and the availability of in-network providers is an important step in enabling all members to have access to the quality behavioral healthcare they deserve," said Shana Hoffman, President and CEO at Lucet. "We look forward to making it easier for independent providers to work with us to receive qualified client referrals, expand access to care and improve patient outcomes."
