What Is Transcarent?
Transcarent is a consumer-directed health and care platform for self-insured employers, founded in 2020 by Glen Tullman (former CEO of Livongo and Allscripts). Their mission: "One Place for Health and Care" - consolidating navigation, virtual and in-person care, pharmacy, surgery, and weight health into a single platform.
With 1,700+ employer and health plan clients and 20+ million members, Transcarent is one of the largest employer health platforms in the US. They acquired BridgeHealth (founded 2007), inheriting 15+ years of Centers of Excellence network development.
Transcarent assesses their COE network at the facility, provider, and procedure level using the CareJourney data platform for quality measures. Their approach to weight health is holistic - covering surgery, GLP-1 medications, and lifestyle management.
