December 28, 2023- 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.

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.
