Acquisition
Lucet has announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Emcara Health to address the growing behavioral health needs for members with complex medical conditions and underserved populations.
Lucet is a health care company that helps people get mental and emotional health support when and where they need it. By working together, Emcara Health and Lucet can offer even more complete care — but your experience with us will stay the same.
Lucet’s long-term strategy is to continuously identify product and service gaps to address member needs. With the acquisition of Emcara Health, Lucet will be able to deliver care right in the home, assessing behavioral health needs and quickly connecting individuals to high-quality resources. Emcara Health already has well-established operations in markets where Lucet has overlapping member populations, empowering Lucet to seamlessly provide dual services for its members’ co-morbid chronic medical and behavioral health conditions as well as new markets.
Lucet’s end-to-end solution has historically focused on improving member access to quality behavioral health care while prioritizing speed to care, provider matching across the acuity spectrum and positive outcomes. Through the acquisition of Emcara Health, we will extend the reach and impact of our offerings, piloting integrated care models in active markets and exploring future opportunities to scale clinical operations. This strategy includes connecting complex populations to behavioral health care assessments and care during in-home and virtual visits.
Not at this time. Both organizations will continue to operate under their respective brands and deliver all services to clients, providers and members.
Members with comorbidities face challenges receiving and accessing care, often leaving them to fall through the cracks of our health care system. Through this acquisition, Lucet can now provide dual services to members for co-morbid chronic medical and behavioral health conditions from the comfort and convenience of their own home. The in-home model will support customers by improving whole-person care quality, bolstered experiences, expanded treatment access, and by lowering total cost of care through reduced in-patient admission and acute utilization.
Emcara Health is becoming part of a company called Lucet. Lucet is a healthcare organization that, like Emcara, focuses on helping people get the care they need in a way that works for them—especially when it comes to mental health needs.
No. You’ll continue to receive the same care from the same team. Nothing is changing about your care, your provider, or how you reach us.
Yes. Your care team isn’t changing. You’ll continue working with the same people who know you and your health needs.
No. Keep using the same phone numbers and websites you’ve always used. If anything changes in the future, we’ll let you know well in advance.
Not at all. Your appointments, prescriptions, and any other care services will continue without interruption.
Nothing! Keep your appointments, talk to your care team, and take care of your health. We’ll keep you updated if anything changes down the road.
If you’re a patient and have questions, you can call the support line for your state, just like always. We’re happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have.
