Lucet launches, unveils platform to optimize behavioral care, access

New Directions Behavioral Health and Tridiuum have merged to form Lucet, a behavioral health optimization company.

New Directions, a behavioral health company, and Tridiuum, a technology company, also announced the release of “Navigate & Connect” program, which allows payers to optimize behavioral health care and access for their members.

“Effectively addressing mental health needs in today’s complex environment requires people and technology. You can’t just have one or the other, and we have decades of experience with both,” Lucet President and CEO Shana Hoffman said in a Lucet press release. “What we’re launching today with Lucet is an innovative solution for this country’s most innovative payers.”

According to the press release, Navigate & Connect is a program in which Lucet’s team of care navigators use an advanced technology platform to quickly match members with the appropriate care for their needs.
