Company Overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient's healthcare experience. Founded in August 2019, we are obsessed with eliminating wasteful friction in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications. We build software designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

We deploy a multi-dimensional engagement model that utilizes Cohere Care Paths to ensure provider decisions are aligned with standards of care and drive optimal outcomes for every patient. We also incorporate proven interventions to unlock further improvements in experience and quality and achieve our clients' value objectives.
