Nutex Health Provides Update On Its Medical Group In Houston

21 March 2023

Nutex Health Inc.  a physician-led, technology-enabled integrated healthcare delivery system comprised of 19 state-of-the-art micro hospitals in 8 states and primary care-centric, risk-bearing physician networks, today provides an update on Houston Physicians IPA, its independent practice association ("IPA") in Houston.

An IPA is an association of independent physician practices who wish to focus on providing high quality care and to remain independent but need additional resources and expertise to lead the market in value-based care. Houston Physicians IPA offers its providers access to our Clinigence Health cloud-based population health data analytics platform, opportunities to participate in risk-based contracts with payors and the resources of ProCare MSO, Nutex Health's wholly-owned management services organization ("MSO").

As of today, Houston Physicians IPA has signed contracts with over 55 primary care physicians and has also signed contracts with multiple specialists in Houston. The physicians have been credentialed and our IPA is in the process of contracting with payors and then beginning patient enrollment later this year.

Nutex Health's integrated healthcare delivery system is comprised of its hospitals, IPAs, our MSO and our cloud-based population health analytics platform. Our inpatient-outpatient model is well aligned operationally and strategically to deliver high-quality and coordinated care to patients in our local communities, while improving the efficiency and overall cost of care. We believe that by taking care of as many of our IPA's enrolled patients at our hospitals, we will not only increase the volumes in our emergency rooms and occupy more of our inpatient beds, but we will also reduce the medical cost ratio ("MCR") in our IPAs, thus making our IPAs more profitable.

"Nutex Health strives to provide outstanding patient care, achieving quality outcomes and in a culture of community engagement across all our hospitals," stated Tom Vo, M.D., MBA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nutex Health.

"We are committed to advancing our innovative inpatient-outpatient model, combining the unique strengths of our community-based hospitals, our IPAs comprised of local physicians and our MSO, with our cloud-based data analytics platform tying everything together," stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., President of Nutex Health.
