(continuation coverage), and Allegiance Care Management (URAC-accredited utilization and case management) — Allegiance provides a full-stack benefits administration platform with dedicated online portals for members, employers, brokers, and providers.

The underlying technology is a web-based TPA platform that supports claims processing, eligibility management, plan document access, cost transparency lookups, and reimbursement account workflows. Member services are delivered through self-service online portals; employer and broker distribution is handled via direct sales and broker channels. Allegiance is backed by the Cigna provider network, giving members in-network access to a national carrier footprint, and it has integrated multiple telemedicine partners (Brightside, Meru Health, Talkspace, Rula, Headway) for behavioral health services.

Revenue is generated through managed-services fees for third-party administration of health plans, reimbursement accounts, and COBRA continuation coverage, priced via per-employee or contractual arrangements that are not publicly disclosed. The company employs 251–500 people and serves employer groups of varied sizes through a B2B2C model where employers purchase administration services and employees access benefits through self-service portals. Allegiance Care Management holds URAC Health Utilization Management accreditation valid through 09/01/2027.
