Quartet Health is contracted by insurers as a service for physicians, who use it to screen patients for mental health conditions, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Currently, Quartet Health serves six Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliates nationwide, and is now growing under Independence Health Group, which owns Independence Blue Cross and AmeriHealth among other subsidiaries. 

The expanded partnership builds on a February announcement that the two companies would collaborate on a whole person health initiative in Pennsylvania. 

Now, the Independence Health Group will further leverage Quartet Health’s data and analytics to identify patient mental health needs and track treatment success, according to a Dec. 2 news release from Independence.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
