PRESS RELEASE
Tulsa, OK — February 17, 2026 — CareATC, a national leader in employer-sponsored healthcare solutions, today announced the launch of BeWell+ Functional Medicine, a new virtual care offering designed to address the root causes of chronic and autoimmune conditions while improving outcomes and controlling long-term healthcare costs for employers.
BeWell+ Functional Medicine is a 12-month, virtual program that combines Functional Medicine practitioner oversight, advanced diagnostic testing, and high-touch health coaching to support patients with complex, high-cost conditions such as autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The program is available to eligible CareATC patients at no cost, removing barriers to access and engagement.
Chronic and autoimmune conditions continue to drive a disproportionate share of employer healthcare spend, often through long-term medication use, specialty referrals, and avoidable downstream claims. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 90% of U.S. healthcare spending is tied to individuals with chronic and mental health conditions. BeWell+ Functional Medicine is designed to help employers proactively address this challenge through a personalized, root-cause approach to care.
“Employers are looking for solutions that improve employee health while also delivering real financial value,” said Dawn Carter, Chief Executive Officer of CareATC. “BeWell+ Functional Medicine reflects our commitment to reimagining healthcare by addressing chronic conditions at the source. This program gives employees the personalized support they need while helping employers reduce long-term medical and pharmacy costs.”
The BeWell+ Functional Medicine program includes an in-depth medical history intake, advanced Functional Medicine lab testing, a doctor-designed personalized care plan, and up to 22 virtual health coaching sessions annually. Patients receive ongoing practitioner oversight to ensure care plans evolve based on progress and results.
“Many patients with chronic or autoimmune conditions feel stuck managing symptoms without understanding why they persist,” said David Noonan, Functional Medicine provider at CareATC. “Functional Medicine allows us to look deeper—examining inflammation, nutrition, lifestyle, and other underlying factors—to create care plans that are truly individualized. When patients understand what’s driving their condition and receive consistent support, we often see meaningful improvements in quality of life.”
Research shows that multi-faceted, lifestyle-based care models can reduce medication dependence by up to 50% in patients with chronic conditions, helping to lower pharmacy spend and slow overall cost trends. By delivering this approach through a scalable, virtual-first model, BeWell+ Functional Medicine strengthens CareATC’s differentiated clinical services portfolio while meeting growing employer demand for modern chronic care solutions.
BeWell+ Functional Medicine supports a wide range of high-cost conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and cardiovascular disease.
With this launch, CareATC continues to expand its BeWell+ ecosystem, reinforcing its mission to empower employers to take control of healthcare while helping employees live healthier, more productive lives.
