Better-Health-Group

Better Health Group, formerly known as Physician Partners, is a leading value-based primary care organization dedicated to transforming healthcare by focusing on preventive care and improved patient outcomes. Established in 2006 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the company operates across multiple states, including Alabama and Oklahoma. It manages care for over 250,000 patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare ACOs, Managed Medicaid, and Commercial Insurance plans.

The organization employs a value-based care model that emphasizes early disease detection, prevention, and comprehensive care management. This approach not only enhances patient health but also enables providers to deliver more personalized care while achieving better financial stability.

By collaborating closely with provider partners, Better Health Group has successfully expanded its network, doubling its patient base and provider network, and tripling the number of company-owned medical centers over recent years.

In January 2023, the company rebranded from Physician Partners to Better Health Group, reflecting its commitment to advancing value-based healthcare. The rebranding also introduced Votion, a provider services division that supports primary care providers in implementing value-based care practices.

Additionally, patient-facing brands such as VIPcare and SaludVIP operate value-based clinics serving diverse patient populations across various insurance products.

In November 2023, Better Health Group secured $175 million in growth capital, building upon a previous $500 million equity investment from Kinderhook Industries in December 2021. This funding is intended to support new risk-based payer partnerships, strategic acquisitions, and the opening of new clinics as the company continues its national expansion.

Operations and Locations

The company's operations in Alabama and Oklahoma are part of its broader strategy to expand value-based care models. In February 2024, Better Health Group launched value-based arrangements in these states.

Patients have access to company-owned medical centers operating under the VIPcare brand and affiliated providers at independent medical practices. This expansion aims to improve health outcomes through a focus on:

• Screening

• Chronic condition management

Locations include:

• Huntsville, AL, USA
• Birmingham, AL, USA
• Tampa, Florida
• Oklahoma
