Background
The Connecticut Carpenter’s union with 5,000 members started health management programing in January 2005. After nearly 10 years with that vendor, costs were soaring and unsustainable in increased employee contributions. In January of 2015, Connecticut Carpenters and Telligen partnered to began offering utilization and case management services. Telligen data analytics experience and proven results have already lead to cost savings just one year post implementation.
