Transcarent sells services to employers to help employees and their families navigate the health system, find the best prices, get treatment for certain kinds of conditions.

I got pushed to have my husband enroll in one of these for “care management”. That was the solution instead of paying for his diabetes meds. Thank god im a lawyer. I just said no thanks and appealed and threatened litigation. The meds are covered. God help people who are stuck with this alternative. Its a way for health plans to limit their costs and nothing else.

Who makes up the names for these companies and how much do they get paid? That may be the business to be in.
