Team-based health care group that serves
Medicare patients from a wide range of health plans to open 26 new
centers in 2022 focused on underserved seniors
Already the nation’s largest provider of senior-focused primary
care, CenterWell Senior Primary Care will continue its rapid growth
in 2022, with plans to expand into new markets including the
Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, Phoenix, Louisville, Nashville, and
Charlotte.
The expansion, which begins later this year and will carry over
into early 2023, will mark CenterWell’s first ventures into
Arizona, Kentucky and Tennessee. A total of 26 centers are planned
in this latest round of expansion.
“The senior-focused care we provide enables our physicians to
spend more time with each patient. This personalized approach
improves our patients’ lives and wellbeing, and is driving demand
for growth in new centers across the U.S.,” said Reneé Buckingham,
President of Humana’s Primary Care Organization (PCO) which
operates both CenterWell and Conviva Care Centers.
The PCO, including CenterWell and Conviva, is the largest
provider of senior-focused primary care in the country. Across the
two brands, the PCO operates approximately 200 centers across nine
states, and expects to grow to 240-260 centers by the end of 2022.
Many of these new centers bring much-needed primary care to
previously underserved areas.
Operating under a comprehensive, integrated, value-based care
model, CenterWell centers are staffed by board-certified physicians
and care teams who have been specially trained to treat the senior
population. Physicians spend more time with their patients –
usually around 40 minutes, compared to 10 to 15 minutes in many
practices – and care teams create personalized care plans designed
to help patients achieve their best possible health. This includes
helping patients with social, behavioral and financial needs.
The Primary Care Organization of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM),
delivers care to approximately 300,000 patients from many different
Medicare Advantage health plans, as well as some patients who have
Original Medicare, and others in managed Medicaid plans. The
centers currently operate in nine states – Florida, Georgia,
Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Texas – and will expand to 12 with the new markets
announced today.
“We’re excited about everything we have planned for this year
because it means we’ll be able to serve far more seniors with care
that is designed just for them,” said Vivek Garg, M.D., Chief
Medical Officer for CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care
Solutions. “As we continue dealing with the COVID pandemic, we’ve
been able to keep delivering care safely to our patients – who
appreciate seeing how careful we are to ensure their safety when
they visit our facilities.”
