Evernorth Behavioral Health

Personalizing and improving care through proactive mental and behavioral health solutions

Ignoring behavioral health conditions is a costly mistake.

Data is fragmented. Access to care is limited. Health equity and cultural concerns are often overlooked. When your members’ health is on the line, navigating behavioral health care without the right partner can have expensive consequences.

Up to 6x higher total health care costs for people with comorbid behavioral and physical health conditions.1

What if we could identify behavioral health issues—before your members even know they have them—and guide them to the care they need? 


 The good news is, we can.

7. Center of Excellence designation is a partial assessment of quality and cost-efficiency and should not be the only basis for decision-making (as such measures have a risk of error). Individuals are encouraged to consider all relevant factors and talk with their physician about selecting a health care facility.
