SilverCloud Health, one of the leading digital mental health platforms, today announced that Express Scripts, the largest independent manager of pharmacy benefits in the United States, will include SilverCloud’s evidenced-based digital mental health platform on its new digital health formulary in 2020. This makes the platform more widely available to people nationwide who are suffering from anxiety, depression, stress and sleep-related issues, like insomnia.
Express Script’s digital health formulary will include digital and mobile health apps and devices to complement existing treatments. Once in place, participating health plans and employers can increase patients’ access to emerging products and technologies, and rest assured that these new tools have been reviewed by a team of experts, who will ensure the products work, provide a user-friendly experience and are worth the investment.
This careful evaluation is especially important, given the over 300,000 digital products on the market today, and the need to carefully assess the best tools for specific conditions. Available in 2020, each digital solution included in the formulary was chosen because of demonstrable therapeutic value, effective usability, as well as stringent security and privacy standards and cost-effectiveness.
