Coordinating pharmaceutical access for justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness

When someone with serious mental illness leaves a psychiatric facility or a county jail, whether their prescription is ever filled decides the next ninety days. Molus automates the post-discharge case management workflow for administering medications — so continuity of care stops depending on luck.

The problem

Every agency touches the handoff. No one owns it.

The releasing facility's responsibility ends at the door. The community provider often doesn't know a release happened. The pharmacy has no context — and the person is left to find a counter that actually takes their insurance. That leg should not be theirs to figure out.

When the handoff fails, the same person returns through the most expensive doors in the system — the emergency department, the crisis unit, and the jail.

Capabilities

Automation where it helps. Human judgment where it matters.

Workflows that carry themselves

AI and deterministic automation take on the administrative weight of post-discharge case management — coordination, tracking, follow-up, and routing prescriptions to pharmacies that actually accept the person's coverage.

A counselor in the loop, always

Care coordination stays human. Automation does the paperwork; a licensed counselor — an LPC or LMHC — directs the care. Every handoff, every time.

A psychologically safe place to land

For the person coming home, Molus is a calm, private mobile app that treats them as a person, not a case number — built to earn trust, never to surveil.

Guiding principle

Share what prevents an arrest — and nothing more.

The standard

The handoff, measured.

Scenario 01 · County jail release

10%

of people treated for behavioral health in jail receive a community mental-health service within 14 days of release.

What changes: the workflow starts before the door opens — prescription routed to a pharmacy that takes their coverage, plan confirmed by a licensed counselor.

Scenario 02 · Psychiatric discharge

30-day

follow-up after psychiatric discharge is a standard HEDIS measure — yet almost no system can report it end-to-end for this handoff.

What changes: release, script, fill, and follow-up become a single continuity record instead of four systems that don't talk.

Scenario 03 · The county view

873

people with mental-health identifiers in the Travis County jail in the January 2023 census. The county's own review named data sharing as the gap.

What changes: one record shared by jail, provider, and pharmacy — narrow diversion flags, and nothing more.

Where we are

We're building this with the people who live it.

Molus is early, and we're in the listening phase — learning from clinicians, case managers, pharmacists, and county systems before we build for them. If this handoff is your world, we'd love to talk.
