CHICAGO – March 25, 2026 – Array Behavioral Care, the nation’s leading virtual behavioral health provider, is delivering outcomes that exceed widely cited industry benchmarks for depression and anxiety, according to new research released today. The company’s white paper, Proven at Scale: Real-World Outcomes from a Virtual Behavioral Health Model, demonstrates that virtual behavioral health care can deliver consistent, measurable results at scale when built around measurement-based, acuity-aligned care – and that thoughtful care design, not just expanded access, is what ensures sustainable, high-quality outcomes.
The results come at a critical time as behavioral health demand continues to rise while provider shortages, financial pressures, and regulatory and reimbursement uncertainty make it harder for healthcare organizations to expand services.
Behavioral health has struggled to demonstrate outcomes, and access alone is no longer enough. What matters is whether patients get better and whether care models can deliver that improvement consistently at scale. These results show that better clinical performance and more sustainable care delivery go hand in hand, and that is the level of performance health systems, payers, and risk-bearing organizations should insist on as they build long-term behavioral health strategies.
Key findings include:
Industry-Beating Remission and Response Rates
Significant Improvements in High-Acuity Patients
Outcomes Matched to How Patients Were Treated
Timely Access to Care
Positive Patient Experience
Array achieved an overall Net Promoter score of 86.95, exceeding commonly reported healthcare industry benchmarks which independent analyses consistently place in the +30 to +40 range.
Outcomes only mean something if they reflect the full reality of patient care. Array’s story is not a curated snapshot. It includes all acuity levels and the full spectrum of conditions, and it shows sustained, real-world improvement over time. I’m proud of these results because they reflect how intentionally this model was built. Delivering consistent, meaningful improvement across thousands of patients — including those with the highest clinical complexity — is one of the hardest challenges in behavioral health, and seeing this level of performance in real-world practice validates the clinical discipline behind Array’s model and the commitment our teams bring to this work every day.
The Care Model Behind the Outcomes
Array attributes these results to an outcome-based care model that combines measurement-based care, stratified treatment pathways and coordinated patient support. Patients’ depression and anxiety symptoms are routinely assessed using validated clinical measures, allowing clinicians to track progress and adjust treatment as needed. Patients are then matched to the appropriate level of therapy, psychiatry or combined care based on clinical need, with treatment intensity adjusted as symptoms improve or escalate. Dedicated care coordination teams also help patients stay engaged in treatment and address barriers that might otherwise lead to early dropout.
Underpinning all of this is Array’s custom designed Epic-based EHR platform, built specifically for its behavioral health workflows and integrated directly with health system partners. This unified infrastructure ensures that clinical pathway decisions are applied consistently across the practice, reducing variation in care delivery and enabling the reliable, scalable outcomes the data reflect.
