Collaboration Along the Continuum of Care

Magellan's behavioral health and employee assistance/work-life services cover more than 40 million individuals. The company collaborates with health care purchasers to offer comprehensive, integrated programs that address behavioral health needs across the entire continuum of care - from helping improve lifestyles choices, to managing chronic mental illnesses, to catastrophic case management.

The key to effective management is reaching out to those at risk at the right time with the right intervention. By focusing on preventative care such as consumer education, employee assistance and lifestyle coaching, we help those at-risk remain healthy and productive.
