DALLAS-BASED PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE JOINS GENUINE HEALTH GROUP'S ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATION

Medical Specialists Associated's Participation In Genuine Health Group's ACO REACH Will Improve Healthcare Access And Quality For Northeast Texas Medicare Beneficiaries

, /PRNewswire/ -- Genuine Health Group, a Miami-based platform assisting physicians with the transition to value-based care, and Medical Specialists Associated, a leading Dallas-based primary care practice, announced a partnership to improve healthcare access and delivery of value-based care to North Texas Medicare beneficiaries. While Genuine Health Group has active partnerships in other Texas counties, including Hood, El Paso, Johnson, and Harris counties, Medical Specialists Associated is its first primary care partner in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The two organizations formalized their partnership late last year.

Through this collaboration, Medical Specialists Associated will join Genuine Health Direct, an Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH), which is designed to improve patient care and accessibility while reducing healthcare costs. Through its participation in Genuine Health Group's ACO, Medical Specialists Associated will also have access to advanced care coordination programs, including proven initiatives to increase seniors' utilization of wellness and preventive care services.

Medical Specialists Associated is led by a top-tier team of board-certified internists committed to improving the patient experience through comprehensive healthcare solutions. With a strong focus on individualized care, the practice concentrates on preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and improving overall wellness of the patients they serve.

"For more than 50 years, we have delivered a continuum of primary care services to patients in Dallas with one goal in mind – to keep our community healthy," said Chad Erickson, Practice Executive at Medical Specialists Associated. "By joining forces with Genuine Health Group, we will have even more tools to expand patient-centered solutions for our senior population."

Medical Specialists Associated's mission aligns with the objectives and goals of Genuine Health Group, which partners with primary care physicians to help them shift their Medicare-eligible patients into value-based care models. Genuine Health Group manages care delivery for more than 60,000 Medicare-eligible patients through its affiliated network of more than 400 physicians.

"This collaboration with Medical Specialists Associated provides us with the opportunity to bring our proven model of value-based care to more seniors in the Dallas area while working with some of the region's most trusted physicians," said Roger Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of Genuine Health Group. "Combining Medical Specialists Associated's outstanding medical care with Genuine Health Group's advanced technology-driven care coordination model means better health outcomes for Dallas seniors."
