Integrating Insurance Benefits for BetterHelp Consumers

整合保险福利以惠及BetterHelp消费者

A key driver for the acquisition is enabling users of BetterHelp, Teladoc’s large consumer-focused virtual therapy platform, to access their insurance coverage for mental health services. UpLift brings crucial infrastructure to facilitate this, including established arrangements with health plans covering over 100 million lives and a network of more than 1,500 mental health professionals..

收购的一个关键驱动因素是，使Teladoc面向消费者的大型虚拟治疗平台BetterHelp的用户能够通过保险覆盖心理健康服务。UpLift带来了促进这一目标的重要基础设施，包括与覆盖超过1亿人群的健康计划建立的合作关系，以及由1500多名心理健康专业人士组成的网络。

BetterHelp will leverage its market experience and user engagement capabilities in conjunction with UpLift’s network and administrative functions. This synergy will provide a pathway for BetterHelp users to apply their insurance benefits to services. Additionally, therapists currently serving BetterHelp clients will have the opportunity to be considered for inclusion in UpLift’s insurance-covered provider network, subject to specific requirements and needs..

BetterHelp 将利用其市场经验和用户互动能力，结合 UpLift 的网络和行政职能。这种协同作用将为 BetterHelp 用户提供一条途径，使其能够将保险福利应用于服务。此外，目前为 BetterHelp 客户提供服务的治疗师将有机会被考虑纳入 UpLift 的保险覆盖供应商网络，但需满足特定要求和需求。

UpLift Operations and Leadership Continuity

提升运营和领导力的连续性

Following the acquisition, UpLift will maintain operational continuity. It will continue to be led by its current CEO, Kyle Talcott, and will carry on serving the marketplace independently. UpLift retains responsibility for managing its extensive provider network, overseeing quality and patient outcomes, and handling the acceptance and administration of insurance coverage..

收购后，UpLift 将保持运营的连续性。公司将继续由现任首席执行官凯尔·塔尔科特 (Kyle Talcott) 领导，并继续独立服务于市场。UpLift 仍然负责管理其庞大的供应商网络、监督质量和患者结果，以及处理保险覆盖范围的接受和管理事宜。
