P3 Health Partners (“P3” or the “Company”), a patient-centered and
physician-led population health management company, today announced
the Company’s expansion into California’s Central Valley through
its acquisition of Medcore HP (“MHP”), a health plan licensed under
the California Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, and
Omni IPA Medical Group, Inc. (“Omni”), an independent practice
association in San Joaquin County, California. P3 brings its proven
talent, tools and technology to help providers deliver
high-quality, cost-effective care to patients in the Central
Valley.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year but
remains subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing
conditions.
Following the close of the transaction, P3 will have access to
Medcore HP’s restricted Knox Keene license, which will allow it to
take global risk from other health plans and grow into additional
markets while increasing the Company’s access to patients,
physicians, hospitals, and payers. MHP contracts directly with
major health plans in California and its health plan license allows
it to take global risk on more than 10,500 Medicare Advantage
members in San Joaquin County. With some of the largest healthcare
network in the United States, California represents an opportunity
for P3 to grow its membership and bring its expertise in improving
outcomes while reducing costs to California’s Central Valley and
beyond.
Omni is an independent practice association with over 400
contracted physicians and other health care providers currently
contracted under MHP’s provider network. The addition of these
healthcare providers offers P3 increased ease of integration into
the service area and a built-in provider footprint. P3 also looks
forward to leveraging the strong leadership and deep in-market
experience Omni brings, which is well suited to enhance the current
offering while providing efficacy at scale within the value-based
model.
“Medcore HP and Omni IPA Medical Group are natural additions to
the P3 network of physicians and coverage, and more importantly,
share our mission and vision to transform the way we approach
healthcare,” said Sherif Abdou, M.D., CEO of P3. “We believe
value-based care is the future of medicine, and we are focusing our
efforts to improve the efficacy of the healthcare system for
providers while driving positive outcomes for patients. Expanding
coverage to patients in California is a significant step for P3 and
demonstrates our continued commitment to transforming
healthcare.”
P3 announced earlier this year that it expects to become a
public company via a merger with special purpose acquisition
company, Foresight Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: FORE)
(“Foresight”).
