Richmond autism telehealth startup AnswersNow aims to launch in several new states

After raising $11 million in a Series A round earlier this year, Richmond behavioral therapy company AnswersNow is aiming to launch in several new states. The company built a telehealth platform for the treatment of children with autism, pairing behavioral health clinicians with families. Beck said the company is set to launch in several new states over the next year but declined to provide details. Beck founded the company after working within the autism community and witnessing problems with care. Prior to the pandemic, insurance companies did not support telehealth treatments for children with autism. The company had to convince the counseling community that telehealth worked in the autism treatment field. The company is working on several partnerships with insurance companies, and Beck is hoping those will allow AnswersNow to provide greater access to the company's platform.
