Author Health is a virtual-first company providing community-based, wrap-around outpatient mental health care for serious mental illness, substance use disorders and dementia across seven US states.
Author Health is a mission-driven, virtual-first healthcare company that delivers community-based, wrap-around outpatient mental health care to people with serious mental illness, substance use disorders and dementia, including older adults. Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers and care management professionals, working together to treat the whole person rather than symptoms alone. The aim is community-integrated care that keeps patients out of acute care settings.
The company's service model combines virtual-first delivery with care coordination and care management. Author Health partners with primary care providers, hospitals, families and caregivers as part of its approach to supporting each patient. The organisation describes a commitment to inclusivity and to honouring diverse cultures, identities and stories.
Author Health operates in seven states: Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. It accepts traditional Medicare, Medicare-Medicaid dual-eligible plans and numerous Medicare Advantage and Special Needs Plans, placing its work largely within the Medicare and managed care landscape.
