January 10, 2024- The healthcare industry continues to develop and innovate to meet consumer preferences and needs. The pandemic led to wider access to virtual care services, and technology has enabled new entrants into the healthcare industry to profit.
One of those companies, Transcarent, has partnered with 10 health systems across the nation to form a virtual provider ecosystem. Transcarent is a consumer-directed healthcare platform for self-insured employers. With an ecosystem of virtual point solutions, care professionals, and local healthcare facilities, Transcarent aims to make it easier for patients to have access to healthcare right from their phone or laptop.
Employers using Transcarent as their companies’ healthcare provider receive competitive pricing previously only reserved for narrow networks. For the first time, members can access virtual care that works together with complex care services delivered locally at hospitals, according to Transcarent.
The brand connects consumers with healthcare information, allowing them to get care on demand, find in-network providers, locate prescription savings, explore care benefits, view lab results, and access educational content. Transcarent offers resources that support patients with everyday care, surgery, at-home physical therapy, comprehensive case reviews, support for oncology care, behavioral healthcare, pharmacy, and more.
Transcarent announced the National Independent Provider Ecosystem that includes health systems such as:
- Advocate Health
- Atrium Health
- Baylor Scott & White Health
- Corewell Health
- Hackensack Meridian Health
- Intermountain Healthcare
- Mass General Brigham
- Memorial Hermann Health System
- Mount Sianai Health System
- Virginia Mason Franciscan Health
