Ten leading health systems have joined Transcarent’s first National Independent Provider Ecosystem, setting the foundation for increased direct contracting.
Direct contracting between employers and health systems has historically been a challenge to do at scale, according to Transcarent’s announcement.
Transcarent directly contracts rates upfront with the health systems and guarantees same-day payment.
Employers receive competitive pricing previously only reserved for narrow networks while maintaining access and choice for members, said Transcarent, a consumer-directed healthcare platform for self-insured employers.
Employee members get access to the health systems’ collective clinical experience, Healthcare Finance reports.
The 10 health systems joining the National Independent Provider Ecosystem:
- Advocate Health
- Atrium Health
- Baylor Scott & White Health
- Corewell Health
- Hackensack Meridian Health
- Intermountain Healthcare
- Mass General Brigham
- Memorial Hermann Health System
- Mount Sinai Health System
- Virginia Mason Franciscan Health
