Background

Provider Finder was one of the highest-traffic flows in the Transcarent app. Despite strong usage, the early experience was simple and limited, often requiring members to call a Health Guide for scheduling or information.

As the product scaled — and as new data sources and partnerships became available — we had an opportunity to evolve Provider Finder from a basic lookup tool into a robust, trustworthy care-navigation experience that helps members make informed decisions.

Challenges

  • The early experience provided minimal filtering or guidance, creating friction for members navigating care options
  • Data from Ribbon (our provider data API) was constrained, limiting design flexibility and search accuracy
  • Scheduling through Health Guides was not standardized, leading to inconsistent experiences
  • Urgent Care data became available later via Solv, requiring UI integration aligned with their constraints
  • As Transcarent improved internal quality, cost, and outcome data, we needed a way to surface ranked "top doctors" transparently while preserving trust

Two phases

Phase 1 — Expanding the provider finder ecosystem. The focus was on expanding Provider Finder beyond basic search into a more complete care-navigation experience, including scheduling, facility search, urgent care, and Health Guide workflows.

Phase 2 — Making provider finder a differentiator. Once foundational features were in place, this phase focused on making Provider Finder uniquely valuable through clinical-quality data and price transparency — introducing the quality score and refined ranking logic display.

Enhancement

Scheduling flow

Goal: improve the scheduling experience by aligning member-facing flows with Health Guide workflows, making booking easier, clearer, and more consistent for both sides.

What I did
  • Collaborated directly with Health Guides to understand their scheduling process, preferences, and common friction points
  • Designed a member-facing scheduling flow that reduced confusion and created a smoother handoff to Health Guide intervention
  • Refined provider cards and entry points to better communicate which providers required Health Guide scheduling
  • Improved clarity and next-step guidance to decrease reliance on manual support
Enhancement

Urgent care booking (Solv integration)

Goal: enable real-time urgent care booking in the Transcarent app using Solv's data, giving members faster access to care and reducing manual intervention.

What I did
  • Designed the urgent care search and booking flow, incorporating Solv data and constraints while maintaining a Transcarent-native feel
  • Created the time selection and appointment confirmation UI, keeping it intuitive and easy to scan
  • Worked closely with Solv and engineering to align booking logic, edge cases, and data handling
  • Updated navigation and entry points so urgent care became a clear, discoverable option
Enhancement

Quality score integration

Goal: introduce transparent, data-driven provider quality scores to help members make confident decisions and differentiate Transcarent's provider finder experience.

What I did
  • Partnered with Data Science and Clinical teams to translate quality, outcome, and cost metrics into simple, member-meaningful visuals
  • Redesigned provider cards and profiles to incorporate quality scores, rankings, and explanatory details without overwhelming users
  • Conducted moderated user testing to validate comprehension, trust, and perceived usefulness
  • Refined language, visual hierarchy, and ranking logic based on testing insights
