At Consensus Health, Patient Health is Everyone’s Mission
Every member of Consensus Health’s expanding team plays an integral role in delivering high-quality care and consistent service to our patients and all those with whom we interact.
Our member physicians reap myriad benefits by being part of the Consensus Health medical group. They are able to leverage the ongoing investments we make in the health of our business and that of our patients by reducing their practice’s overall administrative responsibilities and burdens. This ensures our physicians can stay focused on what they do best — delivering localized, patient-centric care.
Consensus Health provides its member physicians access to a portfolio of tools that enable us to consistently deliver unparalleled care throughout the geographic markets we serve. This support includes access to a universal technology platform and unified electronic health record system; participation in various payer contracts as well as an assortment of value-based programs, based on our ability to scale; and, the chance to secure better payer reimbursement.
Our support services help the independent physicians within our medial group transition to value-based programs that better prepare them for risk. Consensus Health’s collaboration with payers further drives value-based adoption among our growing provider network thereby improving the health outcomes of patients while lowering the overall cost of care.
