Digital Therapeutics (DTx)
Software-based interventions delivered via mobile apps or web platforms are being developed as standalone or adjunctive treatments for various mental health disorders, often backed by clinical evidence.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Therapies

Impactful Policy Frameworks
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA, 2021)
This act included provisions to enforce mental health parity more strictly, requiring health plans to provide mental health and substance use disorder benefits at parity with medical/surgical benefits.
This policy increases the likelihood of insurance coverage for advanced mental health treatments like TMS and Spravato, directly benefiting Active Path's patient access and revenue.
Medicare Telehealth Expansion (Ongoing Post-COVID-19)
While many temporary telehealth waivers from the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency were made permanent or extended, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has continued to expand coverage and reimbursement for telehealth services, including mental health, for Medicare beneficiaries.
This expansion supports Active Path's telehealth psychotherapy services by ensuring continued reimbursement and broadens patient reach for those who prefer or require remote access.
FDA Clearance of New Mental Health Devices and Therapies (Ongoing)
The FDA continues to review and clear new devices and therapies for mental health conditions, such as recent expansions in TMS indications or novel drug formulations.
FDA clearances enable Active Path to integrate more advanced and clinically validated treatments into their offerings, maintaining their competitive edge as a provider of cutting-edge therapies.
