Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet 100% of the job criteria.

Participate in architectural discussions and contribute to the design of scalable and robust systems

Our take

More than 60% of US workers who receive health insurance are enrolled into an employer-funded/managed self-insured plan. While such plans can reduce premiums for employers, this typically comes at the cost of quality, and can create more friction than self-insuring through a traditional insurance company.

Transcarent has built a unified digital platform that allows insured patients to access several different healthcare services via a single tool - including consultations, ordering and renewing medications, and chatting with medical practitioners. Speed is a key cornerstone of its approach: so far, the company has been able to connect patients with practitioners in 60 seconds on average.

The business has grown steadily, merging with BridgeHealth and more recently with Accolade. It has also acquired 98point6 and partnered with big businesses such as Walmart. Now a healthcare Unicorn, Transcarent serves over 20 million members and more than 1,700 employer and health plan clients.
