Federal Correctional Clients supported by NaphCare will have access to HealthTap’s high-quality virtual primary care; nationwide rollout follows successful program launch in Texas, Colorado, Arizona and Florida.
HealthTap, a leading virtual healthcare provider delivering affordable, high-quality primary care, announced a nationwide collaboration with leading correctional health care company NaphCare, Inc. In federal correctional systems contracted with NaphCare, HealthTap will be a valuable partner by providing virtual primary care and urgent care.
“As a forward-thinking and mission-driven virtual care provider, HealthTap will allow NaphCare to enhance the delivery of medical care to our patients.”
“Our mission is to provide access to quality primary care for every American, and that includes the hundreds of thousands who are trying to rebuild their lives during and after being incarcerated. We believe these individuals have the same right as anyone else to build a lasting relationship with a primary care provider they trust, and are proud to work with NaphCare to make our network of clinicians available,” said HealthTap CEO and Co-founder Sean Mehra. “If our society truly believes in rehabilitation through our correctional system, it’s imperative that we help this population achieve better health so they are best positioned to contribute back to that society.”

More than 600,000 people are released from correctional systems every year in the U.S. with the majority having health conditions. Incarcerated individuals are a highly vulnerable population suffering from multiple chronic conditions that require medication management and mental health support. By working with HealthTap, NaphCare facilitates access to high-quality care from licensed healthcare providers to help manage their patients’ ongoing health concerns while addressing a key hurdle that can hinder a person’s reentry into society – access to care. Visits are scheduled and coordinated through the patient’s case manager, who also will help the patient navigate any follow-up care needed.

“Continuity of care and access to care is extremely important to us, and the national expansion of our network with HealthTap is a testament to our proactive, patient-centered approach,” said Katherine Tarica, Chief Operating Officer – Federal Division at NaphCare. “As a forward-thinking and mission-driven virtual care provider, HealthTap will allow NaphCare to enhance the delivery of medical care to our patients.”
HealthTap’s nationwide rollout follows a successful partnership with NaphCare in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, and Florida, where HealthTap demonstrated it could deliver high-quality, reliable, cost-effective care using clinicians who manage patient needs with compassion. With this expansion, HealthTap has shown itself as a capable partner for any organization who is looking for a virtual care provider that can support patients requiring significant assistance from caregivers or care administrators, whether living in facilities or requiring at-home care.
