Helping clinicians achieve success with value-based care in Washington
We efficiently coordinate a statewide ambulatory care network of employed clinicians and affiliated medical groups for multiple payers, including Medicare, Apple Health and commercial health plans. The benefits to physicians are significant—you get the support of a health-care industry leader while you remain independent and able to make your own decisions.
