Fierce recognizes the 15 most innovative private healthcare companies

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Talkiatry, a leading provider of high-quality, in-network psychiatric care, announced today that Fierce Healthcare has named it one of 2024's "Fierce 15" healthcare companies. The annual special report features the most innovative private healthcare companies looking to change the face of the industry.

"It's an honor to be featured in the 'Fierce 15' list with so many other visionary healthcare leaders," said Robert Krayn, co-founder and CEO, Talkiatry.

With more than 300 full-time, licensed psychiatrists available to treat child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric psychiatric issues including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, and PTSD, Talkiatry provides patients with virtual care that was previously limited or nonexistent to many regions and populations.

About Talkiatry
Talkiatry is a national mental health practice that provides in-network psychiatry and therapy. They were co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality mental healthcare. 60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low and paperwork is unduly burdensome. With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, Talkiatry provides patients with the care they need—and allows psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.
