CHESS Health's Rewards Engine Wins Prestigious Product of the Year Award

CHESS Health, renowned for its digital behavioral health solutions, proudly announces that its innovative Rewards Engine has been honored in the inaugural Behavioral Health Business (BHB) Product of the Year Awards. Securing victory in the Patient Engagement, Access & Intake Technology category, the Rewards Engine stands out as the only recognized contingency management platform.

The BHB Product of the Year Awards were bestowed by Arrowfly and Behavioral Health Business to celebrate groundbreaking products that have a significant impact on the behavioral health sector. The winners were chosen by BHB subscribers, comprising leaders and providers who utilize these tools daily.

A Momentous Recognition

Hans Morefield, CEO of CHESS Health, expressed his gratitude for the recognition. “Winning in the inaugural year, particularly from those working in behavioral health programs, is incredibly meaningful,” he stated. He emphasized the importance of contingency management in treating substance use disorders (SUD), noting the challenges patients face in accessing these vital programs due to their complexity.

Streamlining Contingency Management

Contingency management incentivizes positive recovery behaviors, such as attending appointments and adhering to medication regimens for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Despite its proven efficacy, many programs lag in adoption due to their demanding administrative tasks. The Rewards Engine automates these processes, allowing providers to implement contingency management efficiently while maintaining focus on patient care.

The Impact of the Rewards Engine

CHESS Health's data reveals impressive results from implementing the Rewards Engine. Notable outcomes include:

• Up to 30% increase in treatment retention
• Retention rates exceeding 90% among engaged participants
• 294% increase in therapy visits and 69% increase in psychiatric visits at one MOUD provider

As the leading platform for automating contingency management, the Rewards Engine offers providers customizable protocols. This flexibility enables the tailoring of incentive programs to specific patient demographics, care settings, and funding mechanisms, including SAMHSA grants, opioid settlement funds, and Medicaid reimbursement pathways.

Advancing Treatment Engagement

Bridget Crumley, Vice President of Recovery Services at CHESS Health, pointed out that treatment engagement is a critical factor for achieving long-term recovery. She remarked, “This award illustrates the potential of technology to eliminate barriers to evidence-based care. We take pride in facilitating greater access to contingency management for those who need it the most.”
