Today’s Challenge

Rates of mental health issues have increased exponentially since Covid. These dynamics are causing significant strains on employees, employers, and mental healthcare providers.

Employees

Finding a provider is a daunting task. Often, those seeking help must navigate complex provider selection databases that offer little more than names and contact information. As a result, employees spend days and weeks researching and calling providers to find a match, delaying their journey to better health and wellness.

Employers

Employers are reporting rising costs from untreated mental health issues. Those employees with mental health issues submit anywhere from two to four times more medical claims, and this adversely affects company dynamics and productivity. Yet in this tight labor market, employers must deliver a supportive environment and ensure they entice and retain employees.

Providers

Independent psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, and complementary providers are often buried under administrative overhead and the associated tasks of growing a thriving practice. They are seeking solutions to streamline processes such as bookings and billing. Providers also want a trustworthy and simple means to attract more clients.

Our Solution—Simply Powerful. Powerfully Simple.

Portico Care supports the needs of employees, employers, and mental health and wellness providers with a robust, yet simple health care connection tool.

Employee Solution

Portico Care opens the door for employees to find independent psychologists, social workers, therapists, and related service providers on our secure, private platform.  Working together with providers is quick and easy. Vetted providers present information about their services, treatment methods, and prices so users can make the best decisions for their individual needs.

Employer Solution

Savvy organizations recognize the impact health and wellness has on workforce satisfaction, retention, and performance. Employers are seeking expanded benefits that enable employees to bring their best selves to the workplace. Our platform offers a marketplace where employees easily connect to mental health practitioners and related providers to get the help they need.

Provider Solution

Our platform helps providers with the “business end” of their practice. Our concierge services ensure providers get the most from their Portico Care presence. By supporting functions such as scheduling and efficient payment processes, Portico Care empowers providers to do what they do best—help people in need.

Portico Care Benefits

Employee Benefits

Insurance plans often don’t offer access to desirable provider networks. Or, if they do, access to mental health practitioners is limited. As a result, employees turn to the internet searching for providers. Our platform changes that. In a secure environment, we provide the means for employees to find the practitioner that best meets their needs. By using a simple, yet robust search criteria, employees are directly connected to the provider for quick scheduling and streamlined billing.

Employer Benefits

By adding our platform to an organization’s complement of benefit packages, employers are delivering access to much sought-after mental health services. In fact, even in our tight labor market, many employees say they would prefer better mental health benefits over higher pay1. Robust wellness benefits support this goal as well as reduce employer healthcare costs2 and increase retention3. Employees who treat their mental health are more productive and less likely to languish on the job.

Provider Benefits

Portico Care supports the backend tasks of running a business – from scheduling and billing — thereby freeing up independent psychologists, social workers, therapists, and related providers to spend more time delivering treatment. Our services include a concierge support desk where Portico Care staff can address providers’ platform needs. We also provide business development tools, online scheduling, note-taking and billing processes. These result in timely payments at less expense than competitors. At the same time, with numerous employees accessing the platform, providers will receive increased exposure for their practice.
