Colla Health

What Colla Health does

Colla Health is a privately held behavioral health integration company founded in 2024 and incorporated in Delaware, with operations centered in Houston, TX. The company specializes in psycho-oncology, delivering cancer-specific mental health services to oncology patients through the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). Its core platform embeds directly into oncology practice workflows via native integration with five major EMR systems (Epic, AthenaHealth, eClinicalWorks, Oracle Health, and DrChrono), enabling single-click patient referrals, automated PHQ-9 and GAD-7 depression and anxiety screening, real-time clinical alerts, a collaborative care registry, and 48-hour access to telehealth-delivered therapy, psychiatry, and crisis support. Services are delivered by clinicians with specialized psycho-oncology training and credentialed in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, and DBT.

The business model is B2B, targeting community oncology practices and cancer centers. Colla Health does not charge practices upfront; instead, the company handles all implementation, billing, and documentation, and recoups revenue through a share of CoCM CPT code reimbursements from major insurers, with the additional benefit of improved MIPS scores for partner practices. Distribution is via direct enterprise sales to community oncology practices and through channel partnerships with oncology practice networks, most notably a national partnership with American Oncology Network announced in June 2026 with rollout to all AON partner practices planned by end of 2026.

The company has disclosed reference deployments including New Mexico Cancer Center (5,000+ patients screened) and initial AON launch sites (Hematology Oncology of Indiana, Genesis Cancer and Blood Institute). Reported outcomes include 7x faster depression remission (86 days vs 614 days in usual care), 95% patient NPS, $6.50 saved per $1 spent on integrated behavioral health, and 45%/54% of patients showing depression/anxiety improvement within 90 days. The firm is at 1-10 employees and has closed a single seed/pre-seed round (May 2025) from 2048 Ventures (lead), City Light Capital, and Actions Capital.

Direct peers

• Iris Telehealth: Iris Telehealth provides telepsychiatry and behavioral health integration services to hospitals, health systems, and community clinics — including psychiatric consultation, therapy, and collaborative care-style workflows. Its specialist-focused deployment model mirrors Colla Health's oncology-embedded mental health services approach.
• Brave Health: Brave Health provides virtual mental health and substance use disorder treatment to Medicaid populations, including therapy, psychiatry, and care coordination delivered via telehealth. While Medicaid-focused and broader in clinical scope, its virtual-first behavioral health delivery and payer-reimbursement model overlap meaningfully with Colla Health's telehealth-based CoCM stack.
• Quartet Health: Quartet Health operates a technology-enabled behavioral health integration platform that partners with primary care and specialty providers to coordinate mental health care, including screening, referral, and collaborative care delivery. It directly competes with Colla Health's value proposition of embedding behavioral health into specialist workflows via technology.
• Concert Health: Concert Health is a behavioral health integration company that delivers Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) services to primary care and specialty practices, with a focus on depression and anxiety screening, psychiatric consultation, and EMR-integrated workflows. It is the most direct functional analog to Colla Health's CoCM stack, differentiated primarily by Colla Health's oncology vertical specialization.
• Valera Health: Valera Health is a behavioral health integration company that partners with primary care and specialty practices to deliver collaborative care, including psychiatric consultation, therapy, and care management. Its provider-embedded, collaborative-care-driven model makes it a direct functional comparator to Colla Health.

Emerging players

• Marigold Health: Marigold Health is an emerging virtual behavioral health platform using peer support and chat-based interventions for individuals with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. While its modality differs, it represents the broader cohort of emerging tech-enabled behavioral health companies pursuing specialty clinical integration similar to Colla Health's model.

Broad incumbents

• Modern Health: Modern Health is a mental health platform serving employers globally with therapy, coaching, medication management, and digital self-care. As a broad incumbent with significant venture backing, it represents the kind of scaled player Colla Health could face as it expands beyond oncology into adjacent employer or payer channels.
• Lyra Health: Lyra Health is a large, well-capitalized mental health benefits platform serving employers and health plans with therapy, coaching, and medication management. While primarily an employer/channel play rather than a provider-embedded CoCM model, Lyra's scale and brand make it a strategic incumbent in the broader behavioral health space where Colla Health competes for clinical mindshare.
• AbleTo (Optum): AbleTo, acquired by Optum, provides virtual behavioral health care for individuals with chronic medical conditions and behavioral health needs, often through payer and provider partnerships. Its chronic-condition-linked behavioral health focus and payer channel are directly comparable to Colla Health's payer-reimbursed oncology mental health model.
• Spring Health: Spring Health is a comprehensive mental health benefit platform serving employers and health plans with precision-matched therapy, coaching, and medication management. It is a broad incumbent with category leadership and would be a comparable scaled competitor if Colla Health pivots to employer-sponsored oncology mental health benefits.
