Carenet Health

What Carenet Health does

Carenet Health is a privately held healthcare engagement services company founded in 1988 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The company delivers AI-powered multi-channel patient and member engagement, clinical support, telehealth, chronic care management, shared decision-making, and advocacy and navigation services primarily to health plans (Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial), healthcare providers, employers, and healthcare service companies. Its technology core is the Intelligent Engagement platform, which integrates a proprietary Pathways Engine and structured care-pathway capabilities to build 360-degree views of patient health journeys and orchestrate engagement across approximately 135 million annual multi-channel consumer interactions, reaching roughly one in three Americans.

The company's service model combines this technology layer with a global delivery infrastructure spanning U.S. onshore operations and nearshore/offshore centers in the Philippines, El Salvador, Trinidad & Tobago, and South Africa. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription and managed-services contracts with enterprise healthcare clients, with the company supporting 500+ payers, providers, health-tech firms, and services organizations. Carenet has expanded through a sustained acquisition program, adding OpenMed (January 2022), Stericycle Communication Solutions (December 2022), Health Dialog (March 2024), and Response BPO (April 2026), broadening both technology capabilities (scheduling, messaging, clinical decision support) and global delivery capacity. The company maintains SOC 2, HITRUST, and NCQA accreditations, was recognized as a Major Contender in Everest Group's 2026 Healthcare Payer Intelligent Operations PEAK Matrix assessment, and underwent a planned leadership transition from President Mick Mazour to Christopher Rogers in late 2025.
