Lucent Health
Public factsTPA with RBP emphasis
Health-plan administrator for customized self-funded plans, including reference-based pricing and dual-network options, plus nurse-led care management and Lucent Health Rx.
Overview
Lucent Health markets human-focused, data-driven health plan administration. Public pages describe configurable plans, including a claim that Lucent is one of the largest administrators of reference-based pricing plans as well as dual-network options; care management (complex, large-case, and utilization management); Concierge Care; direct contracting; balance-billing assistance; and legal representation. Lucent Health Rx and SpecialtyRx are named pharmacy products. Outcome figures on the site (first-year savings, PEPY savings, RBP client averages) are internal analyses and vendor claims.
Why it matters Lucent is a TPA that publicly leans into RBP and dual-network administration plus its own Rx brand, rather than only carrier PPO ASO.
