SubscribeIn the past, if you needed surgery and you were the CEO, you figured out the best place to go. If you were the janitor, you went wherever was closest that they told you to go and it was on network. You had no say. Was it a high-quality place? You didn't know what it cost. Transcarent are changing that. We're saying whether you're the CEO or whether you're the janitor, you get world-class service when you're talking about surgery or other medical procedures.

We have a system that scans and indexes all our contracts to help keep track. It includes renewal dates, when they're coming up etc. There are weeks when I feel as though I am nothing more than an extension of the legal team. There's always activity going on in that space. It's a very large part of my job.
