Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining today's Teladoc Health Q3 '25 Earnings Conference Call. My name is Regan, and I will be your moderator today. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to pass the conference over to our host, Mike Minchak, Head of Investor Relations for Teladoc. Please proceed.

Michael Minchak

Analyst

Thank you, and good afternoon. Today, after the market closed, we issued a press release announcing our third quarter 2025 financial results. This press release and the accompanying slide presentation are available in the Investor Relations section of the teladochealth.com website. On this call to discuss the results are Chuck Divita, Chief Executive Officer; and Mala Murthy, Chief Financial Officer. During this call, we will also discuss our outlook, and our prepared remarks will be followed by a question-and-answer session. Please note that we will be discussing certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are important in evaluating our performance. Details on the relationship between these non-GAAP measures and the most comparable GAAP measures and reconciliations thereof can be found in the press release that's posted on our website. Also, please note that certain statements made during this call will be forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied on this call. For additional information, please refer to our cautionary statement in our press release and our filings with the SEC, all of which are available on our website. I would now like to turn the call over to Chuck.

Thanks, Mike. Consistent with our preliminary results released last week, our third quarter consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA both came in above the midpoint of our respective guidance ranges. This performance reflects our continued focus on execution. Mala will provide more details on our financial results later in the call, including segment level information and our updated full year outlook. But first, I would like to provide an update on the business and our strategic priorities. With respect to integrated care, we continue to build on our U.S. market leadership position with an emphasis on performance, innovation and client impact. Today, over 100 million people have access to one or more of our services, a testament to the scale and value of our platform. With this reach and vantage point, we are advancing initiatives that expand our service offerings, further connect and orchestrate care and deliver differentiated outcomes for patients and clients. For example, through enhancements to our Prism care delivery platform this year, we now have a much greater opportunity to surface important information directly at the point of care. This offering enables our providers and care teams to address gaps in care, manage specialists and other referrals and activate relevant programs based on the members' eligibility and needs. Further, our ability to embed provider-to-provider specialist consults into the experience improves timely resolution of the members' care needs and drives cost savings and differentiated value for the client. As I have shared previously, having visits and other interactions serve as broader engagement points is central to our strategy and value proposition, which we believe will ultimately drive overall growth in virtual care revenues. In Chronic care, where program enrollment in the third quarter grew 4% on a sequential basis, we also continue to advance important innovations there as well.…

Analyst

Thank you, Chuck, and good afternoon, everyone. As Chuck outlined, we are executing well against our strategic priorities, and our third quarter results reflect that momentum with consolidated revenue of $626 million above the midpoint of our guidance range. Revenue declined 2.2% year-over-year as growth in our Integrated Care segment was offset by a decline at BetterHelp. Adjusted EBITDA of $70 million was at the high end of our guidance range, representing 11.2% margin and reflecting disciplined execution across the business. Net loss per share was $0.28, which included a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $0.07 per share pretax. A charge that was not contemplated in our guidance range as it occurred after the guidance was issued. As outlined in our second quarter 10-Q, the carrying value of the Integrated Care reporting unit continued to exceed its fair value, which triggered the impairment charge. Net loss per share in the quarter also included amortization of intangibles of $0.48 per share pretax and stock-based compensation expense of $0.10 per share pretax. Free cash flow was $68 million in the third quarter, bringing year-to-date free cash flow to $113 million. We ended the quarter with $726 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $47 million sequentially, further reinforcing our strong liquidity position. Turning to our segment results. Integrated Care revenue was $390 million, up 1.5% over the prior year period. As previously discussed, the resolution of a prior period billing adjustment in the third quarter of 2024 created a 115 basis point headwind to revenue growth this quarter. We see continued strong performance in our international business, which delivered mid-teens growth on a constant currency basis alongside solid growth in visit revenue. The acquisitions of Catapult and Telecare contributed approximately 245 basis points to segment growth. We delivered solid results…

Thanks, Mala. Before we open up for questions, I also wanted to share that we were recently named one of Time Magazine's Top Health Tech Companies of 2025. The list honors the most innovative and impactful organizations transforming health care through technology. Our company was recognized with the top ranking of outstanding in the telehealth and treatment category, reflecting our high marks across the key evaluation areas of financial performance, reputation analysis and online engagement. I couldn't be more proud of our colleagues whose dedication and contributions made this recognition possible. Operator, we're now ready for questions.

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Lisa Gill of JPMorgan.

Lisa Gill

Analyst

First off, Mala, I want to wish you the very best in your next endeavor. It's been great working with you the last, I guess, now 6 years. And on to my question, Chuck, just to really maybe better understand, in the last year or so, you've talked about it's going to take time for these initiatives to gain traction. As we sit here today, I would anticipate that you've had most of your conversations for the 2026 selling season. So really 2 things I want to better understand. One, how are you feeling about things that you're selling for 2026? And one of the things that stood out to me in your prepared comments is you want to participate in the value you create. So should we be assuming that the way that you're contracting is changing in any way, what the plan sponsor is buying in any way? So any color you can give us around that, the timeline of gaining that traction and what you're actually seeing come to fruition for this year's selling season?

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, I appreciate that. A few comments. I mean, as I mentioned before, really coming into 2025, really characterizing the year as a repositioning year in many respects. And included in that was really driving higher levels of performance, and we've done that across a number of levers and also driving product innovation, which we needed to do in terms of advancing our value proposition. We've talked about making our visits and member touch points more valuable using our clinical strength and product breadth and so forth and making a number of important investments. And I think that is really starting to take hold, both in terms of the discussions that we're having with our client base as well as the new products and enhancements that we're rolling out across virtual care, chronic care and mental health, and we've talked about Wellbound, but there's a number of other pilots we have underway and things that we're going to be bringing live in 2026. So from my perspective, I think we've made good progress on all of those fronts. I'm excited about the new products and services we're going to be bringing to market for the 2026 selling season and happy to talk more about those. I think in terms of the selling season right now, I think the -- we continue to work on a number of opportunities, obviously, to close out the year. But the environment is in line with what we've spoken about previously, solid overall results in the employer channels really across the solutions and ongoing challenges in the health plan sector. We've had some nice wins and some service expansions, but some pressures there as well. And I think to your point, the actions we've taken to innovate and to drive greater value is resonating. I think the conversations we're having there, I feel are much more strategic in nature in terms of understanding the problems they're trying to solve and how Teladoc can uniquely go after those. And I think inclusive of that is they're looking for more and more, not just the value that our services can provide, but putting skin in the game in terms of levels of performance that they expect. And in return, as we do that, we should be able to participate in that value if we hit those measures and drive the outcome. So I think over time, while we already have contracting that reflects that kind of nature, you're going to see more and more of that. And I think it's going to differentiate us because we have an ability to deliver on it.

Our next question comes from the line of David Roman of Goldman Sachs.

Unknown Analyst

Analyst

This is Jamie on for David. I wanted to ask about BetterHelp margins. They were 1.6% in the third quarter. Just as you start to gain some traction shifting some of your visits away from cash pay towards the insurance offering, it would seem like that would come with some pricing pressure offset maybe by lower customer acquisition costs. Is that thinking appropriate? And any other dynamics to consider as that process happens? And then just as this transition occurs, it would seem like there could be some lumpiness in overall margin for BetterHelp. I know we have the guidance for the fourth quarter, but could you frame how this process should impact the profitability of that business on a longer-term basis?

Mala Murthy

Analyst

Yes. Thanks, Jamie. We obviously will not go into the details of 2026 BetterHelp margin guidance or any guidance. But let me frame the way we expect to see this directionally. So as you said, we have given the guidance for 4Q. As we think about the BetterHelp business, think of it in 3 different ways. One is our U.S. cash pay business. The second is our BetterHelp International business, which is cash pay, to be clear. And third is the insurance business, including UpLift. So we remain excited about the growth in our BetterHelp International business. It grew nicely, high single-digit user growth for BetterHelp International in the third quarter. You know the efforts and the investments we have made in providing localized experiences in various countries, France, Germany, et cetera. And we are seeing the results of those investments now beginning to bear fruit in terms of user acquisition growth and what goes along with that is revenue growth. So that is on the international -- the BetterHelp International side. On the insurance, the BetterHelp insurance side, if you -- based on the prepared remarks we gave, we are seeing good early signs of progress early. We have launched in 7 states and D.C. We expect to launch in more states by the end of this year. And then we expect to be largely national by the end of 2026. So think of the ramp from a revenue perspective for BetterHelp insurance in that -- along those lines. You are right in the way you're thinking about margins for BetterHelp insurance, right? It is certainly -- it is something that we are going to have to monitor carefully, observe carefully. But I will say the metrics that we are looking to see in the BetterHelp insurance rollout, whether it be conversion rates, whether it be number of sessions, whether it be user growth, those are trending in line with what we were expecting. Still early days yet, but we are beginning to see the sort of the operating metrics in line with our expectations. The U.S. direct-to-consumer cash pay business, I would say, continues to be challenged. One of the reasons for it being challenged, by the way, is we are seeing heavy competition on that one from other participants in the market who offer insurance. So it validates and reinforces the pivot that we are making in BetterHelp in offering insurance as an option. And we expect that to continue to play out in the months ahead. So I would think about BetterHelp progress along these lines between now and the end of 2026.

Our next question comes from the line of Jessica Tassan of Piper Sandler.

Jessica Tassan

Analyst

Mala, thank you for all the help over the last few years. I appreciate it and good luck when you leave us here. So my question is just -- we appreciate the commentary on BetterHelp margins in 3Q. But should we conclude that BetterHelp margins today reflect basically a DTC ad customer acquisition cost on commercial reimbursement? And then does that present an opportunity heading into '26 as you can potentially pare back DTC ad spend because you've got full insurance coverage and customer acquisition cost starts to kind of more closely resemble that of an integrated care member?

Mala Murthy

Analyst

Yes. Thank you, Jess. Look, we are -- BetterHelp is a scale player with over 4 million users coming to the top of the funnel. The ad spend that we have in BetterHelp is what drives that amount of traffic to the top of the funnel. The challenge we have had is converting that into paying users. And the progress we are making on insurance is certainly going to help drive greater conversion over time. And with that, will help gain efficiencies in cost of acquisition. The thing that I would say is we don't expect BetterHelp to be solely an insurance business. It will always be a mix of direct-to-consumer -- a cash pay business. It's a direct-to-consumer business. It will be a mix of cash pay and insurance as a payment option. So there certainly will be over time, potential efficiencies to be gained on our CAC, on our cost of acquisition. That is something that we will see -- have to see play out over time. In the near term, though, just to remind you all, insurance, as we said in our prepared remarks, is between $12 million to $14 million. It is small compared to the rest of the BetterHelp business. So the economics you see and the margins you see today are almost entirely cash pay.

Our next question comes from the line of Daniel Grosslight of Citi.

Daniel Grosslight

Analyst

You noted -- you've previously noted that one of the reasons for the Catapult acquisition was to create a larger funnel, which I suppose is most relevant for your chronic care solutions and P360 enrollment. I'm wondering if you can share any qualitative or quantitative data around any of those cross-sales that have materialized or I should -- I guess I should put it cross references that have materialized between Catapult and other areas of the Integrated Care business?

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, I appreciate the question. I think I would maybe categorize it in 3 areas. One is the Catapult stand-alone offering, which continues to have a solid pipeline and grow as it was prior to us acquiring it, and that continues. Second, as we have members come through the Catapult experience, the ability to present and activate as appropriate additional solutions of Teladoc that may be relevant for that member. That is live and integrated into the experience and going well in terms of being able to meet those members' needs. And I think third, to your -- to the main point of your question, the ability to bundle doesn't do a justice. It's really to collaborate and integrate the offering in a way that can capture more lives from an engagement standpoint. And that is what's really resonating with the customer base substantially, including with the health plans. I mentioned before, the strategic conversations we're having with them. Well, Catapult is pretty heavily featured because you think the populations that are giving them challenges, they're typically unengaged or they have conditions that aren't being managed effectively, and they're challenged with their access in terms of their delivery system strategy. So the ability for us to use Catapult and other techniques to reach people, get them aware of their conditions. As I mentioned, when we acquired Catapult, and not an insignificant percentage of people that come through Catapult are newly diagnosed with conditions that they weren't aware of, meaning they weren't in the health plans claims data, they weren't on anyone's radar, including the patient. And so somewhat ticking time bombs, if you will, in terms of having high pressure and high sugar. So it's really resonating across all 3 as a stand-alone offering, ability to cross-engage members; and third, as part of Teladoc being able to use as a broader engagement capability.

Our next question comes from the line of Jailendra Singh of Truist.

Eduardo Ron

Analyst

This is Eduardo Ron on for Jailendra. Mala, again, thanks for all the help. Maybe just to follow up on one of the remarks you had about the top of the funnel. I mean, you guys are now live in 7 states in D.C. coming off the pilot. Just curious what share of new sign-ups that you're seeing come in are choosing insurance versus the cash pay in those states? And I guess maybe our main question was just if you could provide an update on your expectations for the 2027 converts and whether you guys anticipate refinancing those or using cash to pay it down.

Mala Murthy

Analyst

Yes. So I don't want to go into detailed metrics on the conversion we are seeing. There's -- here's why, at this point in time, Virginia, which is the first state that launched, has achieved some level of seasoning enough for us to look at the data and feel confident that there is some stability in the data. But it is one state. We have launched, as I said, in 6 other states in D.C. We just need to give it a little bit of time for all of the other states to season out to make sure that there is stability in the conversion metrics we are seeing, the session metrics we are seeing. What I would say to you is it is our intent along the way as this scales and seasons, we will provide updates along the way. This is an important initiative for us, and we will give the appropriate milestones along the way. It's just too early for us to be public with specific details on it. Even though, as I said, it is in line with our initial expectations. On the '27 convert, you saw the cash and equivalents that we have at the end of the third quarter. We will continue to obviously generate free cash flow. That will add to our cash balance. We have a strong balance sheet. We have our overall leverage metrics well in hand. Our specific plans on 2027 is really going to be an outcome of the things that we will do next year in terms of organic investments and inorganic. As we have shared before, we are in the position of getting a lot of inbounds on various M&A. And we will continue to evaluate them. But hopefully, we have proved out this year, the 3 acquisitions that we have done, UpLift, Catapult and now Telecare in Australia are in line with the strategic priorities that Chuck has laid out, right? Catapult for Integrated Care, UpLift for BetterHelp insurance and Telecare for international growth. And we have been disciplined in terms of our investment in the inorganic. So our specific plans on the '27 note will be a factor of things we do through the year next year on organic investments and inorganic. And we have some amount of time. We are actively planning already in terms of various options to refinance the note in '27. But we'll obviously continue to look at our plans and make the right decisions and trigger it at the right moment, looking at what the rate environment looks like and what our internal needs are.

Our next question comes from the line of Elizabeth Anderson of Evercore ISI.

Unknown Analyst

Analyst

This is Ayush on for Elizabeth. As we think about 4Q '25 and the setup for 2026, how should we view the spending cadence across both sales and marketing expenses? Should we think that you are planning on typical 4Q spending patterns as we have seen in recent years? And anything to call out in terms of how you guys expect that to impact the growth cadence in 4Q and 1Q '26?

Mala Murthy

Analyst

Yes. So I'll take it by segment. As you know, most of our marketing spend really is in BetterHelp. And you will see -- we do expect a step down in marketing spend in 4Q sequentially relative to 3Q in 2025, very similar to past years. The one additional comment I would make is we do expect the step down in 4Q '25 to be slightly higher than the step down between 3Q and 4Q marketing spend in BetterHelp in 2024. But the pattern will be the same. On the Integrated Care side, we did make a decision given the profitability delivery that we had in 3Q for Integrated Care, we did make a decision to pull forward a modest amount of marketing spend into 4Q to just get going in terms of our key priorities for next year in terms of key client launches, et cetera. So I would say to you, the pattern and the cadence will largely be the same. The one other thing to note is, last year in 4Q, we did actually have a fairly significant marketing spend that we had done. We don't -- our 4Q investment in marketing for Integrated Care is not going to be that significant step-up as it was in 2024.

Our next question is from the line of Stan Berenshteyn of Wells Fargo Securities.

Stanislav Berenshteyn

Analyst

I want to first echo my well wishes to Mala in her next role. As for my question, I just want to circle back to Integrated Care. So you mentioned you're seeing continued mix shift towards fee-for-service. But I'm curious, what are you seeing in terms of pricing trends for customers that are renewing their PMPM subscriptions?

Charles Divita

Analyst

I think, generally speaking, the pricing is in line. I think it's more of the mix shift that's the factor there. So I haven't seen that much pressure in that area. But obviously, in a highly competitive market, that could be a factor. And if we're expanding services and other things, we take all that into consideration.

Operator

Operator

Our next question is from the line of Scott Schoenhaus of KeyBanc.

Scott Schoenhaus

Analyst

Congrats, Mala, on the new role and opportunity. I guess switching back to BetterHelp. Can you give us a sense of what the payers are talking about for the reimbursement side? Several of the other players that participate on the payer side have always seen low single digit, maybe even mid-single-digit increases on the reimbursement side. What are your discussions like with the payers? And then as you credential your therapist, maybe you can talk about the margin -- upfront margin headwinds that turn into tailwinds?

Mala Murthy

Analyst

I don't want to go into details on the reimbursement. The thing I will point out is since we announced the UpLift acquisition and over the past few months, we have actually added several new payers to our book of business. And it's several millions of incremental additional lives that we have now on the BetterHelp side with insurance. So that's all I will be -- that's as far as I would go on your first question. On the second question, I would say, yes, this is certainly going to be the insurance business. There are well-known public proxies for insured margins in that space. That is going to be something that we are going to monitor. And to be clear, that is something from a unit economic standpoint, we have factored in as we thought about the strategic pivot into insurance. The thing that we are focused on certainly is margins. But what is exciting is the fact that this is going to allow us to capture incremental paying users, more sessions and therefore, more LTV. And all of that is about revenue growth and therefore, profit dollar growth. So that is what we are looking to grow in the months ahead as we ramp. As you said, this is something that is certainly going to take time. We need to see the revenue ramp. We are making disciplined investments in the back-end capabilities in our revenue cycle management capabilities, et cetera. And as you can see, we are scaling relatively quickly and feel good about that. But the revenue does need to ramp through the year next year for us to be able to get to the dollar profitability growth that is in our thesis.

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes. Well said, Mala, I think the only thing I would add is, clearly, as we are ramping up the credentialed network and what that takes, the revenue will follow in terms of acquired users and sessions and so forth. And I think the way that BetterHelp is approaching this is quite unique, too, in terms of how they're not just approaching the credentialing, but how they're -- again, with the significant network that they have already, how we're putting into the experience, the therapist part of the experience, the ability to indicate interest and move along that. So I think they're approaching it in a way that will give us that scale benefit as we grow those revenues. But clearly, as we're ramping up the therapist network, there's an investment that's happening there.

Operator

Our next question comes from the line of Brian Tanquilut of Jefferies.

Brian Tanquilut

Analyst

Maybe kind of along the same lines of the last question, but slightly different here. As I think about Integrated Care and seeing how the utilization-based revenue there is starting to grow, are there any conversations happening with payers, whether that's rate driven or just trying to figure out how to manage on their side, the utilization of that service?

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, it's a great question. There's a couple of things there. Clearly, the customer base has seen and continues to see the value of having a virtual capability and visit, and we have good utilization relative to other market players and drive savings, think about ER avoidance and those kinds of things. I think where -- and kind of going back to the comments I made earlier about these strategic conversations, these are not just visits, but they are engagement points. And as we've expanded and will be expanding in 2026, the capabilities we have in what we call our 24/7 care offering, being able to address more care needs for the member, the ability to reduce unnecessary specialist referrals by bringing a specialist consult to the table, closing care gaps, navigating the member, doing follow-up, ordering labs, those kinds of things, the clients will see even more value in what we're driving. And I think that's where we're going to see both additional opportunities for activation, but also back to the earlier question, opportunities to participate in that value as we drive stronger outcomes. So as we migrate to this visit-based environment, like I said in my prepared remarks, we're leaning into that. And the good news is we have millions and millions of visits each year. We're the largest by far, and I think it's an important strategic lever in that broader integrated care strategy. So yes, I think all of that is in play in the virtual care side.

Our next question comes from the line of Kevin Caliendo of UBS.

Jack Senft

Analyst

This is Jack Senft on for Kevin. Mala, I also want to wish you the best of luck in your next endeavor. In your prepared remarks, you guys mentioned that you expect to add necessary capacity to meet demand in the BetterHelp business just as you take it in network. I mean the BetterHelp users have been declining. What does the supply-demand imbalance look like now for the insurance offering? And I guess, like how do you expect that to change going forward? And maybe just a second part to that, like how much supply or I guess, like how many clinicians do you need to add to meet the extended demand there? Just kind of interested to hear how the clinicians are viewing the offering versus staying cash pay. I hope that makes sense.

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, it did make sense. At this point, we are keeping up with the demand in the states that we've launched in. In fact, that's a key criteria before we launch is that we have the adequate therapist capacity because we want to make sure that, that user experience and access is strong. So we've been able to do that. And again, we -- that's part of our scaling plan is, importantly, the ability to match the therapist network to meet the demand. And we believe with the interest that has been shown and our ability to credential those therapists that we'll be able to keep up with that. So again, I think we've been able to meet demand both on the direct-to-consumer side quite well, the ability to match a therapist with the consumer over 90% of the time in less than 48 hours. And it's because this is a consumer-oriented business, regardless of whether it's cash pay or the insurance is paying, we want to make sure we maintain that strong Net Promoter Score and experience. So right now, as we speak, it's a critical part of our rollout plan. And again, we don't go live in a state unless we feel like we have adequate capacity to support the demand.

Our next questions are from the line of Jeff Garro of Stephens.

Jeffrey Garro

Analyst

I want to hit on chronic care enrollment trends. Nice to see that rebound sequentially in Q3, but curious how that played out relative to expectations? How we should think about the ability to ramp from here? And any comments you could give on kind of the built-in growth opportunity there versus the need to sell additional solutions into the client base before converting potential members?

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, I'll make a few comments and Mala can add. I want to steer away from sort of 2026 in that question. But we were pleased to see the sequential growth in the quarter. We expected to see that, and we had communicated that, and we delivered. We were excited to see that. We have many more millions of recruitables in our chronic care programs, and we have had a lot of interest in the bundling of programs. So there's a lot of opportunity for us to go after within what we've already sold. And I think importantly, and I alluded to this earlier, but the new innovations we're bringing to market, again, we entered 2025 largely with the product portfolio we had in 2024. We've got a number of innovations. We've got new device -- new connected devices, which I think are going to be streamlined and helpful, new features with our programs and all of that. But importantly, we are working on things to drive additional clinical interventions for rising risk populations and high-risk populations because we have the ability to deliver care because of the unique nature of Teladoc, we believe there's an opportunity for us to engage people that are having challenges getting under control, understand their needs, understand if they have an existing care provider, great. If they do, we want to be a complementary part of that. If they don't, we want to make sure we intervene and get the conditions under control and improve their health outcomes. And I think that will not only drive greater clinical outcomes, which is critical, but greater financial ROI for our customers as those patients are better served. And that will also create an opportunity for us with those customers to activate more engagement strategies as a result. So there's a number of levers that we can pull to continue to build upon the progress we saw in the third quarter. Mala, anything you want to add?

Mala Murthy

Analyst

I think that's really well said. The only thing I would add is we are also investing in connecting all of the data that we have to be able to -- when Chuck talks about clinical intervention, to be able to enable our providers at the point of care with the right data, with the right 360 view so that they are not only treating and helping the very sick, but most importantly, they are also helping and treating the emerging sick. And that is when Chuck talks about being able to participate in the value, being able to drive greater ROI, it's really on the back of both.

Our next question comes from the line of David Larsen of BTIG.

David Larsen

Analyst

Can you talk a little bit about BetterHelp? So like after 1 year, what percentage of patients are still on therapy? Can you talk a little bit about continuity of care? My view is like with -- if somebody is taking insurance and the patient doesn't have to actually pay for it out of pocket, they're more likely to stay on therapy. Just any thoughts there? And then also, what portion of BetterHelp members are also like a part of the integrated care platform? I would think if you're serving employer groups or plans and you could basically refer them to BetterHelp, there would be sort of an immediate opportunity to cover the mental health visit with insurance. So any color there would be helpful.

Charles Divita

Analyst

Yes, I'll make some general comments and see if Mala wants to add anything. Yes, I do -- we do very much expect and believe that as people are able to activate insurance that if they need more therapy that they're able to access it. Right now, from a BetterHelp standpoint, those consumers are making decisions and trade-off decisions in terms of their priorities around their wallet. And it's typically probably not because they've fully addressed their mental health needs and they've got some challenges. So I think we do a great job there. We have great clinical outcomes on the BetterHelp side. But having the ability to access their insurance should be a benefit. Now to your second point, our real entree in terms of overlap between integrated care and BetterHelp is the launch of our new Wellbound product. That really is bringing together both -- really the best of both and the ability to support those people with a range of needs, mental health needs, other kinds of support that they have. And I think that's where we're going to see the ability to bring BetterHelp into that arena in terms of serving integrated care. Mala, would you add anything?

Mala Murthy
