The problem

ACA populations carry the highest behavioral health need and the lowest engagement

Marketplace members face disproportionate rates of substance use and mental health challenges. Traditional behavioral health benefits go underused because they feel clinical, hard to access, and disconnected from daily life. The result is preventable cost:

  • Avoidable emergency department visits

  • Inpatient admissions that early support could prevent

  • Member churn driven by unmet needs

  • HEDIS and quality measures that fall short

Evidence

A model backed by peer-reviewed research

Peer support is one of the most studied and validated approaches in behavioral health. Published research in JAMA Network Open demonstrates meaningful reductions in substance use and stronger retention compared to standard treatment alone.

WEconnect builds on that evidence with a platform designed for scale across Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and ACA Marketplace populations.
