It all starts with the people who know kidney care best
Every decision we make and every solution we consider begins with nephrologists. They’re our board members, investors, committee members, and medical office leadership. They know what patients and practices need to achieve their best. We started as a physician-centric joint venture, and we continue to ensure physicians have a voice in the decisions that impact their patients and practices.
The industry’s only fully comprehensive kidney care model
Honed over a decade of experience, and operating at a competitive scale, our unique care model allows us to credibly take on total cost for the complex and costly kidney patient population.
We use a two-pronged approach that involves patient care and provider enablement to manage the highest-need, highest-spend patients and provide preventative interventions that effectively slow kidney disease progression. Both are supported by our connections into patients’ existing care environments through our partnerships with the largest value-based nephrology network and over 2,600 dialysis clinics nationwide.
- Our Total Patient Care Service includes four programs: Care Management, Transition Management, Medical Care Extension, and Clinical Documentation. We work in partnership with nephrologists and PCPs to deliver the right care at the right time to the right patients.
- Our Provider Enablement Service incorporates support and tools that create alignment between providers and our care team, including interoperability with Acumen® Epic®, improved workflows, and provider incentives to further value-based care, all of which deepen our impact and promote sustainable change in the system by ultimately driving physician behavior change.

Better health outcomes for patients, better financial results for you
We have the scale and experience needed to improve financial performance, reduce risk, and help people with kidney disease live their best lives.
Our care model prioritizes nephrology care coordination, nephrology referral, and patient education. It’s helped us achieve an optimal start to dialysis rate 154% above the national average1,2, which decreased costs over $65K per patient per year.3 Our interventions have also resulted in increased access to home dialysis and a start rate 85% higher than the national average for all patients.1
You don’t need promises of success in value-based kidney care. You need proof. See how we’ve already helped a regional health plan reduce hospitalizations by 30% and cut their costs by 13% in just one year.
We’re by your side for every step of your value-based care journey. You’ll not only get support to meet quality care benchmarks, you’ll:
- See the financial upside of our value-based care arrangement
- Receive quality incentives and get access to bonus programs
- Have the opportunity to participate in our shared savings pool
- Drive more patients to your practice with our growing number of payer relationships
