Carisk Partners, a specialty risk transfer and care coordination company, announced the launch of its enhanced Behavioral Health program, building on the synergies of Carisk Behavioral Health and the recent acquisition of HeadsUp Healthcare.

The program offers access to behavioral health services in order to address lower acuity conditions, including those outlined in New York’s recently amended workers compensation law.

Designed to support individuals managing conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and substance-related disorders, the program is said to anticipate and exceed the emerging standards and regulations for behavioral health in the workplace.

“Over 90 percent of the workers compensation injuries Carisk manages exhibit co-occurring behavioral health challenges including PTSD, anxiety, and depression,” said Joseph Berardo Jr., chairman of the Board, Carisk Partners. “When overlooked, these can often delay recovery, increase medical costs, and impact quality of life.” Carisk aims to support the early identification and intervention of these behavioral health conditions by providing rapid access to resources and deliver personalized care plans to improve patient outcomes.
