New York, NY — Great Place to Work and Fortune magazine have honored AbleTo as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in New York. This is AbleTo’s first time being named to this prestigious list, coming in at 34th place. Earning this distinction means that AbleTo is one of the best companies to work for, that is headquartered in New York.

This year’s Best Workplaces in New York award is based on employee feedback collected through America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study of over 1 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing more than 6.1 million U.S. employees. In that survey, 85% of AbleTo’s employees said AbleTo is a great place to work, compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S. based company.

“People First is one of our core values, taking care of those in need above everything else. We wouldn’t be able to do that without the commitment and unwavering passion our employees bring to work every day,” said Stephanie Carroll, AbleTo Chief People Officer. “I am honored to announce that in addition to being a Best Workplace in New York, AbleTo is also certified a Great Place to Work for the last two consecutive years. We are incredibly grateful for all they do to earn this incredible honor.”

The Best Workplaces in New York list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified organization and headquartered in the New York metropolitan statistical area.

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they create a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or their role.

“As employee demands and expectations have dramatically changed over the past year, these companies have risen to the occasion—and it’s not been easy,” says Kim Peters, executive vice president of global recognition, research & strategic partnerships at Great Place to Work. “Their hard work and dedication to listen to and care for the well-being of every employee, and support them in a way that’s meaningful to all, is the standard all organizations will be held to.”

WellCare and AbleTo Partner to Bring Virtual Behavioral Healthcare to Medicare Advantage Members in New York

NEW YORK and TAMPA, July 11, 2019 — WellCare Health Plans, Inc., (NYSE: WCG) and AbleTo, a leading provider of virtual behavioral healthcare, announced today the launch of a new program to serve WellCare’s Medicare Advantage members in New York.

Nearly 44 million Americans experience mental illness in a given year, yet 60% of adults didn’t receive treatment in the U.S. last year. Unaddressed behavioral health conditions can significantly impact a person’s overall health and well-being.

Working with the WellCare team, AbleTo analyzes health data and identifies members who would benefit from treatment, and then delivers that care virtually or over the telephone through a nationwide network of skilled professionals. Members work with a therapist and coach for up to eight weeks of personalized care. AbleTo’s evidence-based, structured treatment improves clinical outcomes and reduces medical costs.

“The costs of untreated behavioral health needs are significant, attributing to poor clinical outcomes and increased medical costs,” said Trip Hofer, CEO of AbleTo. “Our high-quality virtual care meets patients where they are physically and emotionally with evidence-based, personalized treatment programs that helps better the overall health of members and lower costs of care.”

“One in five Americans experience mental illness in a given year, yet less than half seek out treatment due to the associated stigma or outside barriers to care such as lack of health insurance or transportation issues,” said Sander Koyfman, WellCare’s behavioral health medical director in New York. “At WellCare, we’re excited to partner with AbleTo to offer our members access to high-quality behavioral healthcare options in a convenient, appropriate setting.”

AbleTo virtual behavioral healthcare services are available to all WellCare Medicare Advantage members in the state of New York.

As of March 31, 2019, WellCare serves approximately 310,000 members in New York, including 157,000 Medicaid members, 89,000 Medicare Advantage plan members and 64,000 Medicare Prescription Drug Plan members.

AbleTo Acquires Joyable to Further Increase Access to High-Quality Behavioral Health Care

Shared focus on clinically-sound care offers natural alignment for continued innovation

NEW YORK, March 6, 2019 – AbleTo, Inc., a leading provider of virtual behavioral health care proven to improve clinical outcomes and lower health care costs, today announced that it has acquired Joyable, an app-based digital therapy innovator. The acquisition strengthens AbleTo’s high-quality virtual behavioral health care with a digital platform that delivers clinically-based therapies supported by coaches to help individuals overcome depression, generalized anxiety, and social anxiety.

“Joyable’s clinically-focused, digital treatment program is the perfect complement for AbleTo’s evidence-based virtual care,” said AbleTo CEO Trip Hofer. “Combining our strong programs and talented teams to create a more integrated approach to delivering behavioral health care will further expand access, drive a better experience for patients, and create more value for our clients.”

According to Mental Health America, more than 50% of people living with behavioral health needs do not get the necessary treatment. Virtual and digital therapy help solve for the critical challenges like care shortages, stigma, and cost that prevent many from accessing care. AbleTo and Joyable both help to address the problem of access through the use of technology to deliver care to individuals when and where they want. Both also employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to ensure high quality treatment that results in their proven ability to significantly improve health.

While AbleTo provides treatment virtually through a network of more than 600 therapists and coaches, Joyable’s platform offers users expert-designed digital engagement with a coach. Their approach has been proven to drive 10 times the engagement of other digital therapies with outcomes that match face-to-face therapy.

“Joyable was founded on the idea that everyone should be able to access high-quality behavioral health care. Joining AbleTo will allow us to expand our mission with a team that shares the same goal,” said Joyable Co-founder and CEO Peter Shalek. “I am excited for Joyable to become part of a larger effort and continue to build and grow with our combined capabilities.”

“For people living with unmet behavioral health needs, the expanded reach of AbleTo through Joyable’s digital platform means millions more people will get the help they need,” added Hofer. “For AbleTo’s clients and partners, the combined capabilities and a commitment to continue innovating together means a greater impact on populations that would benefit from access to high-quality behavioral health care.”

Mr. Shalek will join the AbleTo executive team as Chief Product Officer, leading product strategy and development across the combined organizations.
