NovaOne Launches Next-Generation Platform Uniting Behavioral and Physical Health

One platform for preventive, curative and specialty care, built by a unique team of clinical, health plan and digital health experts.

NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NovaOne today announced general availability of its next-generation solution: a modular platform, uniting purpose-built preventive tools, clinically validated assessments, an AI care navigator with deep human clinical oversight and a curated network of evidence-based specialty providers. One platform for integrated preventive and curative healthcare.

Expanding behavioral health access was the goal for decades, and the industry delivered. The harder problem is what happens after the door opens. More members are in therapy than ever, and costs have climbed with them, yet most health plans cannot tell whether the spend brought better outcomes. Members are routed to what's available rather than to what works for their specific conditions. Everyone gets seen. Few get well.

That gap doesn't stay in behavioral health. It shows up as unmanaged chronic conditions and avoidable admissions, which is why integrated care - behavioral and physical health managed as one - is no longer optional for health plans.

"Health plans and their employer clients have lived with point solution fatigue for years. They're ready to cut the siloed vendors that cost the most and deliver the least, and NovaOne is here to meet that moment," said Joe Burton, President and CEO of NovaOne. "We spent years learning exactly what doesn't work before we built what does: one modular platform that supports members' whole health and replaces dozens of overpriced and underperforming point solutions. NovaOne gives health plans and employers back the money and the time spent managing solutions, as well as control of the member relationship."

The NovaOne platform maximizes the value for health plans and employers in multiple ways:

• Access to care that works. Members are screened across 15+ clinical risk areas and guided to the in-network options proven to work for their conditions, reaching evidence-based care in under five days on average against a national average of 50+ days.
• An end to point solution fatigue. Plans and employers shed high-cost, low-performing siloed vendors and consolidate that spend into one lower-cost contract covering preventive care, triage and curative support.
• Whole health, not just behavioral health. Preventive support spans Mind, Body and Care, so members address mental and physical health, and diagnosed conditions, in one platform rather than across separate disconnected vendors.
• Less administrative burden. NovaOne acts like an "easy button" for clients and can handle provider contracting, credentialing, clinical oversight, data integration, member communications and more.

NovaOne's preventive digital front door spans 25+ training areas across Mind, Body and Care, each developed and owned by NovaOne and reviewed with 50+ independent MDs, PhDs and subject matter experts. The curative clinical network spans 25+ specialty provider organizations supporting members across clinical needs from anxiety and depression through serious mental illness, substance use disorders and more including OCD, eating disorders, PTSD, children's mental health and autism. A purpose-built AI care navigator, developed by NovaOne's own clinical team, helps members reach the right support in real time.

While building their curative specialty network, NovaOne evaluated 600+ behavioral health point solutions for health plan clients. Fewer than five percent met clinical and operational standards. The same team vets every potential network partner, then holds each to ongoing metrics monitoring fidelity to clinical protocols, clinical outcomes and operational performance.

"When members reach care that works for their needs, you see it in their lives and eventually in the medical spend," said Rachel Goldberg, BSN, RN, Vice President of Growth and Clinical Strategy at NovaOne. "The future belongs to organizations willing to be held to a new bar, and we are proud to help set it with the partners who share that commitment."

The platform is available today to health plans and large employers nationwide. The company serves six health plans, including more than 4,000 employers and 15 million members.
