Careset

Welcome to the open-source case for Careset. This is a company worth the treatment because its purpose was forged in an act of radical transparency — when co-founder Fred Trotter filed a FOIA request to understand physician referral patterns and released the data publicly, sparking a movement that still guides CareSet as the first and only company providing 100% Medicare Part A, B, C, and D claims data with monthly updates. To tell that story fully, we look through four lenses: the Founder Story traces how advocate Ashish Patel, with degrees from Cornell University and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, set out to liberate government healthcare data; the Golden Circle captures the belief that healthcare decisions should be illuminated by open, transparent data; the Lean Canvas shows how the company operates through pharmaceutical and biotech analytics subscriptions serving 200+ brands, including 6 of the top 10 pharma companies; and the Empathy Map brings us close to people like Dr. Sarah Chen, who leads a market access team and needs comprehensive, validated Medicare claims data to inform multi-million dollar strategic decisions. Together, these four frameworks turn a mission of data transparency into a portrait you can actually see.
