Cigna offers telepsychiatry platform to behavioral health customers

Cigna's 14 million behavioral health customers will have access to telepsychiatry platform Brightside.

The company announced June 22 it has joined Cigna's behavioral health network, and will provide members with at-home treatments for anxiety and depression.  

Founded in 2017, Brightside's treatment approach includes therapy, data-driven prescribing of medication and access to physicians, according to a news release.

"By increasing access through virtual care, customers can talk to a psychiatrist or therapist from the comfort and privacy of their homes," Cigna's behavioral health CMO, Doug Nemecek, MD, said in the statement.
