New virtual behavioral health program available to members

CarePartners of Connecticut is ​partnering with ​AbleTo​ to offer​ a virtual behavioral health program to members. Aligning with CarePartners of Connecticut’s whole person approach to member care, AbleTo’s clinical programs are designed to improve both behavioral and physical health.  

AbleTo ​offers a ​structured eight-week online program​ rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy​ that connects members with outpatient therapy, coaching and digital support. All sessions are confidential and personalized and are conducted via phone or video chat (in English or Spanish) from the member’s home. The program is aimed at helping members dealing with a medical condition or life stressor develop tools to manage stress and anxiety, improve mood and outlook, cope with a health issue, and overcome barriers to making a positive change.  

​​​Members will be asked to sign a ​HIPAA ​consent form to let AbleTo coordinate care with the member’s care team as needed throughout the program. If the member signs a HIPAA consent, AbleTo can provide a clinical case summary — which includes all care coordination recommendations and activities— to their primary care provider. 

While CarePartner’s of Connecticut will identify members who may benefit from the program and offer it to them, providers may also suggest the program for their patients. To do so, ​​​​please direct members to call 1-833-522-5386, TTY 711 (Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–8 p.m. ET) or visit the CarePartners of Connecticut AbleTo site.
