How did Transparent Health Network Start?

Transparent Health Group's President and founder, Betty Heiman, also runs a successful Radiology Facility.  The concept for Transparent Health Network came to her after seeing many patients arrive at her office with credit cards and cash, yet without insurance cards—often wishing to negotiate the retail fee.

Betty soon realized something had to be done for today's working uninsured - independent contractors (1099s), Part Timers working 2 or 3 jobs, or Full Time employees priced out of their company's insurance programs.  These employees were ineligible or unable to afford traditional health insurance products, nor could they afford the uninsured, full retail costs. They were without access to affordable health care options. That gave Betty an idea and Transparent Health Group was born.

What is Transparent Health Network?

Transparent Health Group was founded by a team of entrepreneurs who believed that everyone – regardless of employment status, age or medical history should have access to quality health care at affordable prices. Health care could be simple – patients dealing directly with providers with no middle man processing claims or making medical denials.

Due to its desire to provide the highest quality network possible, Transparent Health built their own network to avoid being part of a prepackaged network with providers unaware they were part of the plan. Providers and medical service companies in Transparent Health's network share a commitment to provide the working uninsured and under-insured with quality health care at affordable prices.  Additionally, the Transparent Health Network puts health care decision-making back where it belongs: in the hands of caring providers who can discuss treatment options with their patients without concerns about pre-authorization, referrals or denials from a disinterested third party.

Transparent Health Network recognizes that doctors and specialists are only part of an individual's medical care, therefore they have included Radiology, Laboratory services, Pharmacy and Dental services, as well as access to a 24-Hour Nurse Hotline and Hospital Advocate program.

Transparent Health Network is not insurance. Its members are responsible for paying providers directly when services are rendered. Direct payment keeps costs down, eliminating the need for cumbersome claims processes, payment delays, denials, pre-authorizations and referrals. Transparent Health offers something else insurance companies don't - transparency.   Transparent Health Network features online access to fee schedules for common services allowing members to be aware of costs before their medical appointments.

Transparent Health Network - Affordable, Transparent & Easy, giving members the care they need, at the price they deserve.
