Lucet announced on June 3 its acquisition of Emcara Health in Franklin, Tennessee.
Emcara Health (previously PopHealthCare, a GuideWell Company) is a national, value-based medical group focused on delivering home-based care to clinically complex and high-risk populations. The company’s integrated suite of in-home care solutions spans advanced primary care, complex care management and treatment, transition of care and annual in-home assessments.
Lucet is a behavioral health company providing tech-enabled services to health plans, employers and providers. The Leawood, Kansas-based company partners with health plans to offer comprehensive yet flexible mental health and addiction support.
With this acquisition, Lucet hopes to address the growing need for integrated care models that are aligned with co-morbid chronic conditions and behavioral health management.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Lucet’s long-term strategy is to continuously evolve, identifying product and service gaps to address our members’ health needs. With the acquisition of Emcara Health, we will be able to offer even more comprehensive ways to deliver care, assess behavioral health needs and quickly connect individuals to the high-quality healthcare resources they require,” said Shana Hoffman, President and CEO of Lucet. “With Emcara’s well-established operations in markets where Lucet also has overlapping member populations, we are empowered to provide dual services for our members’ co-morbid chronic medical and behavioral health conditions in the future.”
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition marks the 50th Home Health & Hospice (HH&H) transaction announced in 2025. There were 96 HH&H deals announced during full year (FY) 2024, 100 announced during FY 2023 and 115 announced during FY 2022.
