Brave Health

Brave Health, founded in 2017, is the largest virtual mental health provider focused on Medicaid populations in the United States. The company delivers telehealth-based outpatient mental healthcare to underserved communities, with services delivered through a secure virtual care platform spanning individual therapy, psychiatry, medication management, peer support and specialised treatment programmes.

The company's reach is substantial. Brave Health holds more than 200 health plan contracts, covering upwards of 65 million lives across 18 states. Its work sits at the intersection of telehealth technology, Medicaid managed care and health insurance, with a technical focus on secure virtual care infrastructure and the delivery of virtual mental healthcare at scale.

Brave Health's stated mission is to expand access and equity for underserved Medicaid populations, addressing barriers of location, stigma and provider shortage. The company accepts Medicaid, Medicare and commercial insurance, on the principle that financial circumstances should not determine access to care, and describes its approach as pairing technology with compassion, human connection and clinical excellence.
