WHAT IT DOES

Carrum Health offers a value-based platform that allows self-funded employers to buy specialty care, focusing on surgical and cancer care. It provides a digital platform that gives patients access to a care specialist that guides them through the surgical process and employers a platform for navigating Carrum’s network. 

The San Francisco-based company’s Center of Excellence network highlights what it considers to be high-quality surgical centers across the U.S. for patients and employers.

The company will use the funds to expand its oncology benefits offerings and scale its surgical care service lines. 

“With its Centers of Excellence network, digital platform and data-driven surgical episode bundling capabilities, Carrum Health has created a solution that allows for real-time and measurable value to employers, as well as a superior patient and clinician experience,” said Teresa Lee of OMERS. “The company is well-positioned to transform how healthcare is delivered and paid for, and we look forward to supporting the management team in realizing that vision.”
