Highmark, a Blue Cross Blue Shield-affiliated health insurer, will expand access to Freespira‘s digital therapeutic for PTSD, panic disorder, panic attacks and other panic symptoms.
In addition to bringing the treatment to members living in Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia, the agreement will also provide remote coaching on how to use Freespira to those not already receiving support from a behavioral health professional, according to the announcement.

Freespira adds value to our members’ plans and helps us to create a remarkable health care experience, freeing people to be their best.”
