Texas launch follows significant success in California with over 25% of CA pediatricians now referring patients to Clarity
SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clarity Pediatrics, the company transforming the pediatric specialty care journey with an innovative new care model, now offers comprehensive ADHD care to families with children ages 5-17 across the state of Texas.
This expansion follows strong momentum in 2024, a year marked by a $10M seed round, recognition as a Digital Health Hub Foundation’s Kids Health Rising Star, and inclusion in Rock Health’s Top 50 in Digital Health. Since its launch in 2022, the company has established a significant California presence, with referrals from over 1,500 pediatricians – more than 25% of the state’s pediatric providers – including all major health systems.
The traditional pediatric care model has reached an inflection point, with over 40% of school-aged children and adolescents managing at least one chronic condition such as asthma, obesity, or behavior/learning problems. A severe “Specialty Care Gap” has emerged as demand for specialists vastly outpaces availability. Compounded by limited insurance coverage and lengthy wait times, millions of children are left without critical treatment. Clarity Pediatrics addresses this problem head-on through an innovative model combining personalized support, expert multi-specialty care teams, and convenient telehealth appointments – all covered by insurance.
“Our healthcare system is at a breaking point, and our kids are the ones paying the price. At Clarity Pediatrics, we’ve built a new clinical model that brings the best of evidence-based specialty care into every home,” said Dr. Alesandro Larrazabal, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Clarity Pediatrics. “We’re focusing on ADHD care first because the need is so substantial and urgent: 7 million children in the U.S. have been diagnosed, with diagnoses increasing by over 40% in recent years. We’re proud to now serve families in Texas, and we’re aggressively planning for both more states and additional chronic condition care in the very near future.”
Clarity Pediatrics’ clinical care model uniquely delivers:
- Guideline-based coordinated care: All of Clarity’s personalized treatment plans and clinical programs are evidence-based, designed in accordance with American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines. Clarity’s tech-enabled model engages specialists, parents, and schools to improve outcomes and eliminate traditional barriers to care.
- Behavioral interventions: Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), the AAP’s recommended first-line treatment for school-age ADHD, equips parents with science-backed skills to promote positive behaviors, strengthen parent-child relationships, and establish successful routines. Families can also access virtual group therapy programs focusing on emotion regulation, homework skills, and executive function.
- RUBI Parent Training: For families of children with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 1, Clarity offers RUBI Parent Training as a specialized alternative. RUBI teaches many of the same skills as BPT, but with additional consideration given to ASD-related behaviors.
- Medication management: Clarity’s clinicians offer medication consultation and prescription management services (when appropriate) for FDA-approved stimulant medications. Families also receive counseling on lifestyle changes like diet, sleep, exercise, and screen time.
- Affordable in-network coverage: In Texas, Clarity accepts Optum (UnitedHealthcare), Evernorth (Cigna) and Aetna for behavioral health services, with expanded coverage coming soon. Clarity Pediatrics families covered by insurance paid an average co-pay per appointment of $25 in 2024. Patients not covered by insurance pay fair and transparent cash rates.
- Fast access to appointments: Traditional care models can leave families waiting up to a year for a specialist appointment. Clarity Pediatrics has no waitlist and most families meet with a Clarity clinician within weeks, with next-day appointments available in certain circumstances.
“We’re honored to be a trusted partner to parents and pediatricians, and to offer a specialty care model where everyone has access to the guidance and support their family needs,” said Dr. Larrazabal. “Our vision is to revolutionize pediatric specialty care through innovation and accessibility – and our Texas expansion marks an exciting milestone in that journey.”
Clarity Pediatrics plans to launch ADHD care in more states and expand its multi-specialty care model to other critical pediatric chronic conditions, including asthma, obesity, and allergies. To learn more about Clarity Pediatrics ADHD Care, visit www.claritypediatrics.com.
