Prove it
Every dollar should leave a record anyone with a right to see it can verify.
Who we are
Why we built ChicLedger.We came to the problem from different parts of healthcare, and reached one conclusion.
Across healthcare, finance and law, our team kept seeing the same failure: enormous sums moving through employer health plans with no independent, verifiable record. For independent TPAs, that's an increasingly difficult position. Employers demand transparency, but the infrastructure was never built to provide it.
One conclusion
Transparency in healthcare should be something the system can prove, not something employers are asked to trust.
What we stand for
Our principles
Stay neutral
We never adjudicate, authorize or hold funds. Control stays with the people accountable for it.
Protect privacy
Financial data only, no PHI, and each party sees just its own records.
Grow with partners
We succeed when the TPAs and DPCs we work with win more business.
