Independence is an important tenant of Kentmere Healthcare Consulting Corporation — a privately owned and fully independent entity. It is the only independent laboratory benefit management program.

Having created the industry category, it remains a wholly independent privately held company providing comprehensive programs dealing with all aspects of laboratory operations, touching every part of a health plan.

Kentmere works only for health plans. It has no relationship or stock or licensing fee agreements, company operations or direct or indirect relationships with health plans, venture capital firms, laboratories, imaging firms, hospitals or healthcare providers.

This independent model assures that Kentmere maintains deep laboratory benefit management program experience, having undeterred focus in current industry knowledge. Further, it enables Kentmere to provide fully impartial recommendations to its lab benefit management partners.

Its obligations are only to its health plan partners.
