About FamilyWell

FamilyWell's mission is to transform women's mental health across the reproductive journey, from fertility through menopause. We embed evidence-based, insurance-covered mental health care directly into women's health practices, making mental health support available where patients already receive care.

By integrating a virtual team of care managers, coaches, therapists, and psychiatric providers into clinical workflows, FamilyWell is expanding access to mental health support, improving outcomes for women and families, and reducing the administrative burden for our provider partners.

• Help identify and resolve scheduling challenges and other administrative barriers.
• Support continuity of care through timely communication and follow-up.

Insurance & Administrative Support

• Help patients understand their insurance coverage, potential out-of-pocket costs, and payment expectations.
• Assist with collecting and verifying patient information.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) and other patient management systems.
• Support administrative processes that help patients access care efficiently.

Patient Experience & Quality Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve the patient journey and reduce barriers to care.
• Collaborate with team members to troubleshoot patient concerns and improve workflows.
