What We Do
CareSet supercharges pharma marketing initiatives as the first company commercializing 100% of Medicare A, B, C and D claims. Using the largest single cohort of patients available, CareSet groups Medicare claims into patient journeys by disease. We then track how their diseases progress and which teams of doctors treat them. For outcomes research teams, understanding disease progression creates new patient segmentation. For brand managers, knowing which practices to talk to enables more targeted outreach in less time.
