The initial rollout includes Florida, Louisiana, Ohio, New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Montana, Idaho, and Illinois, representing more than 4.7 million covered lives. Within these markets, an estimated 366,000 members are living with substance use challenges, underscoring the urgent need for accessible, effective care.
“Our expansion with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health is a critical step in our mission to help people affected by addiction live amazing lives,” said William McKinney, Chief Executive Officer of Eleanor Health. “This collaboration allows us to expand access to our compassionate and evidence-based model, ensuring more families receive care that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of their illness.”
Eleanor Health's whole-person clinical model is deeply rooted in personalized care planning and grounded in strong partnership between each member and our multidisciplinary clinical team. Coordinated delivery of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), psychiatry, therapy, peer support, and nurse-led care coordination is proven to drive powerful, industry-leading outcomes.
In fact, members stay engaged in care at Eleanor Health for an average of 22 months – more than twice the national average – and nearly nine out of ten experience measurable improvements in depression, anxiety, cravings, or social health within their first 90 days. Critically, 96% of members report feeling genuinely cared for, a testament to the company's stigma-free approach.
By being in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health, Eleanor Health makes it easier for members to access high-quality treatment without unnecessary financial or administrative barriers. This expansion builds on Eleanor Health's mission to provide equitable, trauma-informed, and stigma-free care, ensuring individuals and their loved ones have the support they need throughout their recovery journey.
