Catasys Expands OnTrak-A Solution with Leading National Health Plan into Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Arkansas

Santa Monica, CA – April 7, 2020 – Catasys, Inc. (NASDAQ: CATS) (“Catasys” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered and telehealth-enabled, virtualized outpatient healthcare treatment company, today announced the expansion of its OnTrak-A solution with a leading national health plan into Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky and Arkansas. This expansion ensures that eligible commercial and Medicare Advantage members of the health plan in these four states will have access to critical behavioral healthcare to help them better manage chronic disease. With the expansions into Indiana and Arkansas, OnTrak^TM is now available in 30 states, as well as the nation’s capital. Additional OnTrak-A expansions are expected in the remainder of 2020.

Mr. Terren Peizer, Chairman and CEO of Catasys, stated, “We look forward to serving the members of this national plan in these additional four states, and treating those who struggle with the burden of managing heightened anxiety in addition to their behavioral conditions and chronic disease. Only a few months into 2020, this particular health plan partner has expanded OnTrak^TM into seven additional states and Washington, D.C., validating the ROI of our programs and the positive outcomes we deliver for members. Given today’s environment, we anticipate that expansions will continue to increase our outreach pool of eligible lives, and enrollments should improve as more and more states mandate that citizens ‘shelter in place’ during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mr. Peizer continued, “In this environment, we believe our value proposition is significantly augmented given our unique ability to serve this member population. Catasys OnTrak^TM programs are entirely telephonic, staffed by a nationwide virtual network of employee Member Engagement Specialists, Care Coaches and Community Care Coordinators combined with a credentialed, virtualized telehealth network of behavioral health and medical providers. We are working closely with our health plan partners to address Social Determinants of Health such as food shortages and loneliness, especially in rural America. With hospitals already in a dire state, the work our Care Team is doing today to prevent future hospitalizations is more important than ever.”

OnTrak is a critical component of the Catasys PRE^TM (Predict-Recommend-Engage) platform that predicts people whose chronic disease will improve with behavior change, recommends care pathways that are effective and that people will follow, and engages people who aren’t getting the care they need. OnTrak is an integrated solution that incorporates evidence-based psychosocial and medical interventions delivered either in-person or via telehealth, along with care coaching and in-market Community Care Coordinators who address the social and environmental determinants of health. OnTrak improves member health and delivers validated cost savings of more than 50% for enrolled members.
