Mr. Terren Peizer, Chairman and CEO of Catasys, stated, “We are excited to announce this important milestone in our company’s growth trajectory. Our second national health plan customer has expanded their business with us nationwide, Q2 Net Promoter Score ratings of our Ontrak Program and Care Coaches demonstrate that customer loyalty has reached record highs at 77 and 83 respectively, and we believe we now have the largest network of behavioral health providers of any healthcare IT company. This marks our transition from the pilot phase of our corporate development into a clinically and economically-proven strategic partner to our customers, members and providers. For years we have been known to these constituencies as Ontrak, and to the investor and analyst community as Catasys. Powerhouse brands consolidate marketing and sales dollars behind a single, iconic brand name and brand identity. The Ontrak brand has tremendous positive equity in the marketplace and we believe that we will scale the business faster and more efficiently by uniting our corporate and product initiatives under the Ontrak master brand. Today we are Ontrak, better together, in every way and everywhere.”
