- The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)
selected Pear Therapeutics to track and distribute incentives for
the groundbreaking Recovery Incentives: California’s Contingency
Management Program, to treat Medi-Cal members with stimulant use
disorder
- DHCS intends to use the pilot as a basis for informing the
design and implementation of a statewide contingency management
benefit through the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System,
pending budgetary and statutory authority
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has
selected Pear Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PEAR), a leader in
developing and commercializing software-based medicines, to support
the implementation of the Recovery Incentives: California’s
Contingency Management Program. Contingency management is an
evidence-based, cost-effective treatment that provides motivational
incentives to treat individuals living with stimulant use disorder
and support their path to recovery.
The pilot program will allow eligible Medi-Cal members, across
24 counties in California, to take part in a structured 24-week
outpatient program that will be followed by at least six months of
additional recovery support services. Pear Therapeutics will
partner with DHCS to deliver, implement, and manage this program,
specifically by managing the electronic tracking and distribution
of incentives to Medi-Cal members who participate in this
contingency management pilot.
“We applaud California’s DHCS for taking this important step to
expand access to behavioral treatment to address the stimulant use
disorder crisis that persists in California,” said Julia
Strandberg, Chief Commercial Officer of Pear Therapeutics. “By
working together, we will implement an innovative program that will
reinforce individual positive behavioral change consistent with
meeting treatment goals.”
As stimulant use disorder continues to be pervasive across the
United States, Pear Therapeutics is committed to providing
individuals across the country with access to its innovative
treatment options.
