THCC is a clinically-oriented healthcare consulting firm providing services in strategy, compliance, management and clinical operations for health plans in areas including utilization management, care management and value-based care.

“THCC’s unique solutions are specifically designed to supplement and enhance the clinical needs of health plans,” added Pete Tedesco, Managing Partner at HEP. “We look forward to supporting Dr. Toney and the THCC team as they embark on the next phase of growth for the Company.”
Founded in 2008, THCC provides multiple innovative and flexible service offerings to its health plan clients utilizing dedicated teams of clinical, administrative and management professionals. Service offerings include consulting and process optimization services, staff augmentation, med-psych care management services, and its flagship Insource Partnership, where a fully integrated, non-delegated team assumes responsibility for a specific service inside a health plan. THCC leverages a team of over 350 experts comprised of medical doctors and nurses as well as psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, clinical social workers and therapists.
In conjunction with the investment by Centre and HEP, experienced physician executive Linda Rosenstock, MD, MPH has joined the THCC Board of Directors.
