Lucet, which provides tech-enabled behavioral health services to payers and provider organizations, signed a definitive agreement to acquire Emcara Health, a value-based medical group that provides home-based care to high-risk populations. Financial terms were not disclosed. According to the announcement, the acquisition will address the growing need for integrated care models that are aligned with co-morbid chronic conditions and behavioral health management. The combined entities intend to pilot integrated care models in active markets and to explore future opportunities to scale clinical operations.
“Lucet’s long-term strategy is to continuously evolve, identifying product and service gaps to address our members’ health needs. With the acquisition of Emcara Health, we will be able to offer even more comprehensive ways to deliver care, assess behavioral health needs and quickly connect individuals to the high-quality healthcare resources they require,” said Shana Hoffman, President and CEO of Lucet. “With Emcara’s well-established operations in markets where Lucet also has overlapping member populations, we are empowered to provide dual services for our members’ co-morbid chronic medical and behavioral health conditions in the future.”

Its integrated service line includes advanced primary care, longitudinal complex care management and treatment, transition of care, and annual assessments. Emcara Health’s care teams include a medical director, advanced practice provider, registered nurses, community health workers, and care coordination support.
