Michael J. Ochoa

Michael Ochoa, M.B.A. is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Transcend Onsite Care. During his career, Mr. Ochoa worked for Thermo Fisher Scientific and Merck, before venturing out as an entrepreneur to co-found Advanced Therapeutics, a compounding and specialty pharmacy that focused on non-addictive pain management medication alternatives for patients.

In 2017, Mr. Ochoa and his co-founder, Dr. James Pinckney, partnered together to focus on the changing the landscape in healthcare towards more pricing transparency, to give employers and labor unions more control over the cost of care. Transcend Onsite Care and Ascend PBM were established with a vision to create a disruptive Direct Primary Care Model. With preventative care as the focus, the model can dramatically bend the cost curve on the primary care and the pharmaceutical medication components of an Employer’s health and drug benefits plan. Mr. Ochoa believes that the Transcend Model can change the way healthcare can be delivered by directing the medical care options directly to the employers work site or by building a near site medical clinic for multiple employers.

His philosophy is to align with the right strategic partners and offer modular, turn-key healthcare solutions which can lead to better clinical and financial outcomes.
