Dallas-Based Medical Practice Partners with Genuine Health Group for Improved Senior Care

In a significant development in the healthcare sector, Medical Specialists Associated, a prominent primary care practice located in Dallas, has officially partnered with Genuine Health Group, a Miami-based organization that specializes in the transition towards value-based care. This collaboration aims to enhance healthcare access while significantly improving the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries in Northeast Texas.

Genuine Health Group has established its presence across various counties in Texas, including Hood, El Paso, Johnson, and Harris. However, this new partnership marks their first venture into the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and it is set to pave the way for improved patient care solutions.

The formal partnership, which was solidified late last year, means that Medical Specialists Associated will be integrating with Genuine Health Direct, which operates under the framework of the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH). This program is designed specifically to optimize patient care and accessibility while working to reduce healthcare expenditures.

For Medical Specialists Associated, this collaboration offers access to advanced care coordination programs—a crucial enhancement designed to amplify the utilization of wellness and preventive care services among seniors. With an established reputation for comprehensive healthcare solutions, the practice is dedicated to personalized care, particularly focusing on preventive medicine and chronic disease management for the betterment of patient wellness.

Chad Erickson, the Practice Executive at Medical Specialists Associated, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "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. By joining forces with Genuine Health Group, we will have even more tools to expand patient-centered solutions for our senior population."

Aligned with the objectives of Genuine Health Group, Medical Specialists Associated aims to shift its Medicare-eligible patients into more effective value-based care models. Genuine Health Group itself operates a vast network comprising over 400 physicians, managing care for approximately 60,000 Medicare-eligible patients.

Roger Rodriguez, the CEO of Genuine Health Group, highlighted the importance of this collaborative effort, noting, "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. 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."

The partnership reflects a growing trend in the healthcare industry, where collaborative efforts among practices are seen as pivotal in enhancing the healthcare landscape by focusing on patient-centered care models. This move is not only a step forward for both organizations but signifies an impactful enhancement in the quality of healthcare accessible to the senior community in and around Dallas. As the healthcare environment continues to evolve, partnerships like this will undoubtedly play a vital role in shaping the future of care delivery.
