Carenet Healthcare Services

What Carenet Healthcare Services does

Carenet Healthcare Services (legal entity: Infomedia Group, Inc., dba Carenet Health) is a US-headquartered healthcare-exclusive engagement and business process outsourcing company founded in 1988 and based in San Antonio, Texas. The company serves 400-500+ enterprise clients across payers (health plans including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and commercial), providers (health systems, hospitals, academic medical centers), healthcare service companies, employers, and startups, delivering 135 million multi-channel consumer interactions per year. Service offerings include Healthcare Engagement Services (member/patient outreach, scheduling, HEDIS gap closure, Star ratings support, referral management, welcome calls), Clinical Support (24/7 nurse triage, chronic care management, shared decision-making), Telehealth Solutions, Digital Solutions including AI-powered Intelligent Scheduling, Advocacy and Navigation, and HEDIS/Star Ratings Improvement Programs.

The company's technical core is the Intelligent Engagement Platform — an AI-powered healthcare CRM that creates a 360-degree view of the patient and member journey by integrating data from disparate client systems. Underlying capabilities include Natural Language Processing for conversational patient engagement, Generative AI for simplifying complex medical data, Agentic AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation for personalized care navigation, and predictive analytics for readmission risk, disease progression, no-show forecasting, and medication adherence. The Pathways Engine and Care Pathways module orchestrates care management workflows. The platform is paired with a global delivery network spanning the US (San Antonio HQ and onshore), Philippines, Trinidad & Tobago, El Salvador, and South Africa (Durban), employing 3,200+ team members globally with 6,000+ healthcare-focused professionals when including the 2026-acquired Response BPO. Compliance posture spans HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, NCQA Health Information Line certification, and URAC Health Call Center Accreditation.

Carenet's business model is sales-led enterprise managed services on quote-based, multi-year contracts tailored to each client's scale and service mix, with the rightshoring model enabling cost-optimized delivery across onshore, nearshore, and offshore geographies (up to 70% lower cost in South Africa vs US onshore). Revenue streams are predominantly managed services with potential SaaS/platform components in the Digital Solutions line. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors or public market activity, has executed six strategic acquisitions under former President Mick Mazour (including Health Dialog in 2024 and Response BPO in April 2026), and was recognized as a Major Contender in Everest Group's 2024 PEAK Matrix for Patient and Member Engagement Platforms. Named enterprise customers include CVS Health, WebMD Health Services, multi-state health systems, and multiple Medicare Advantage plans where documented outcomes include $149M annual cost avoidance, $700M+ lifetime savings, and 3:1 to 5:1 ROI on engagement programs.
