General
What is NovaOne?
NovaOne is an integrated behavioral health platform designed to help health plans expand access to high-quality care, improve outcomes and simplify the member experience through a single, unified solution.
Who is NovaOne built for?
NovaOne is built for health plans looking to improve behavioral health performance across their member population - especially those focused on better engagement, measurable outcomes and reducing fragmentation across multiple point solutions.
What is an integrated behavioral health platform?
An integrated behavioral health platform brings multiple behavioral health services together into one experience, typically combining digital engagement, self-care and clinical care pathways, with consistent reporting and outcomes tracking.
How is NovaOne different from a point solution?
Point solutions typically address only one need (like meditation, therapy navigation or coaching). NovaOne consolidates multiple behavioral health capabilities into one platform, reducing fragmentation and improving the end-to-end experience.
What is a behavioral health “Digital Front Door”?
A Digital Front Door is the entry point members use to discover and access behavioral health support. It typically includes screening, guided pathways, self-care resources and navigation to higher levels of care when needed.
What types of behavioral health needs does NovaOne cover?
NovaOne supports a range of behavioral health needs, including common challenges such as stress, anxiety and sleep, and can also support higher-acuity needs through clinical pathways and provider-based care.
Organizations
What problems does NovaOne solve for health plans?
NovaOne helps health plans address common challenges such as:
-
Low behavioral health engagement
-
Fragmented vendor ecosystems (“point solution fatigue”)
-
Gaps between prevention and clinical care
-
Administrative complexity across multiple solutions
Difficulty measuring outcomes and ROI
How does NovaOne help health plans reduce point solution fatigue?
NovaOne helps reduce point solution fatigue by consolidating multiple behavioral health capabilities into one platform, so health plans can deliver a more cohesive member experience while reducing contracting, operational and integration burden.
How does NovaOne improve member engagement?
NovaOne improves engagement by meeting members where they are with easy entry into care and pathways that help members move from self-guided support to higher-acuity care when appropriate.
Does NovaOne support both preventive and curative behavioral health?
Yes. NovaOne supports both preventive behavioral health (early intervention, self-care, resilience building) and curative behavioral health (access to clinical services and provider care), helping members get the right support at the right time.
How does NovaOne help reduce total cost of care?
NovaOne helps reduce total cost of care by:
-
Improving early engagement and prevention
-
Increasing access to appropriate levels of care
-
Reducing fragmentation across vendors
-
Supporting measurable behavioral health outcomes that impact broader medical spend
How does NovaOne measure outcomes?
NovaOne supports outcomes measurement by capturing engagement and clinical signals across the member journey, allowing health plans to evaluate performance and improve programs over time.
What kind of reporting does NovaOne provide to health plans?
NovaOne can provide reporting across key program dimensions such as:
-
Adoption and engagement trends
-
Utilization by level of support
-
Outcome indicators and improvement trends
-
ROI insights and program value
How does NovaOne improve access to behavioral health care?
NovaOne improves access by simplifying how members enter behavioral health support and connecting them to the right type of care, whether that’s self-guided tools, coaching-style support or clinical services through a provider network.
Does NovaOne include a provider network?
NovaOne can support access to care through a provider-based network model so members can move beyond self-care and into evidence-based services when appropriate.
How is NovaOne different from an EAP?
An EAP is typically designed for short-term support and may have limitations around access, continuity and measurement. NovaOne is a broader behavioral health platform designed to support prevention through higher-acuity care, with a single experience and clearer outcomes visibility for health plans.
How does NovaOne support care navigation?
NovaOne supports guided pathways and navigation to help members identify what they need, find appropriate resources and move into higher levels of care when required, without making the process hard to start or hard to continue.
Can NovaOne be offered as a white-labeled solution?
Yes. NovaOne can support a white-labeled experience, allowing health plans to offer a consistent member journey under their brand while still using NovaOne’s platform capabilities behind the scenes.
What does implementation look like for a health plan?
Implementation typically includes alignment on goals, configuring the member experience, integrating as needed, setting up reporting and launching a communications plan to drive adoption. NovaOne is designed to reduce operational burden compared to managing multiple vendors.
How quickly can a health plan launch NovaOne?
Timelines depend on plan configuration, branding needs and integrations, but NovaOne is designed to support a streamlined launch process and faster time-to-value versus stitching together multiple behavioral health vendors.
What populations can NovaOne support?
NovaOne can support broad member populations, including:
-
Commercial members
-
Medicaid populations
-
Medicare populations
-
Employer-sponsored plan members
(Exact design varies by plan strategy.)
How does NovaOne support whole-person care?
NovaOne supports whole-person care by addressing behavioral health proactively and connecting members to care in ways that complement overall health outcomes, improving the experience for both members and health plans.
Can NovaOne work alongside existing behavioral health programs?
Yes. NovaOne can complement existing programs or replace fragmented tools depending on the plan’s current ecosystem and goals.
How does NovaOne help health plans reduce administrative burden?
NovaOne reduces administrative burden by consolidating experiences, simplifying vendor management, streamlining onboarding and supporting clearer reporting across the behavioral health ecosystem.
