Partners in Care

What Partners in Care does

Partners In Care (PIC) is a physician-led, physician-owned clinically integrated network (CIN) founded in 1995 and headquartered in Marlton, New Jersey. The company operates as a division of CareAbout Health, with the legal entity organized as Partners In Care, LLC (Delaware). PIC connects approximately 1,500+ providers across 600+ practice locations in 14 of New Jersey's 21 counties — covering roughly 1M managed lives under value-based arrangements with a roster of major commercial and government payers (Aetna, AmeriHealth, Cigna, CMS, Horizon, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, ilumed, Vytalize). Self-reported quality metrics include a >90 provider Net Promoter Score and a 4.5-star quality rating.

The core product is the PIC CIN platform, which bundles a centralized reporting/analytics engine, interface engine, Enterprise Master Patient Index, disease registry, HIPAA-compliant secure messaging, point-of-care gap-closure tooling, attribution management, and shared-savings management and distribution — delivered through an affiliated management services organization (MSO). Layered services include practice transformation, centralized care coordination, payer and regulatory relations, evidence-based guidelines, group purchasing, and a web-based Practice Search referral tool. Technology is principally operational and integration-oriented (data aggregation, master patient indexing, rule-based gap closure) rather than AI-native.

PIC's go-to-market operates on two parallel tracks: a sales-led, relationship-driven motion that recruits independent primary-care and specialty practices into the CIN across New Jersey, and an enterprise payer-side motion that positions PIC as the bridge between payers and the independent physician community. Revenue is generated through a combination of recurring CIN participation and MSO management fees, value-based/shared-savings program economics (performance-based incentives flowing through the network), and margins from group purchasing and discounted technology offerings. Pricing is quote-based and contract-negotiated, not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CareMore Health: CareMore Health, an Anthem subsidiary, delivers value-based care to MA and Medicaid patients through owned and affiliated provider models. It represents a payer-aligned alternative to PIC's independent-physician CIN approach for elderly populations.
• VillageMD: VillageMD, majority-owned by Walgreens Boots Alliance, operates value-based primary care clinics including the Summit Health/CityMD platform. While vertically integrated rather than independent-practice-focused, it competes for the same value-based payer relationships and shared-savings economics.
• Oak Street Health: Oak Street Health, owned by CVS Health, runs value-based primary care clinics primarily for Medicare Advantage and dual-eligible seniors. While it operates owned clinics rather than a CIN, it competes for the same MA lives and risk-bearing contracts that anchor PIC's network economics.

Direct peers

• Astrana Health: Astrana Health (formerly Apollo Medical Holdings) operates an MA-focused, value-based care platform combining a CIN/IPAs, MSO services, and population health technology. Its operating model and revenue mix closely mirror what PIC aspires to scale beyond New Jersey.
• Agilon Health: Agilon Health partners with independent primary care physicians to enter value-based and global capitation arrangements, with a heavy Medicare Advantage focus. Its physician partnership + risk-bearing model is highly comparable to PIC's CIN/MSO + value-based contract structure.
• Privia Health: Privia Health operates a national physician enablement network combining single-specialty, multi-specialty, and CIN models with value-based contracting and an MSO technology platform. Privia's multi-payer medical group services and analytics directly overlap PIC's offering across multiple states.
• Aledade: Aledade operates the largest national network of independent primary care physician practices under value-based contracts, offering ACO enablement, population health analytics, and shared-savings management. It is the most direct national analog to PIC's CIN/MSO model for independent practices.
• Vytalize Health: Vytalize Health is an ACO and value-based care enablement platform for independent practices, including MA risk arrangements. Vytalize is both a stated PIC payer partner and a direct functional competitor serving similar independent PCPs with shared-savings and risk-bearing programs.

Emerging players

• ilumed: ilumed is an ACO REACH and value-based care enablement organization focused on independent providers. It is both a PIC partner and a structural competitor working with similar independent practices on risk-bearing arrangements.

Regional players

• Consensus Health: Consensus Health is PIC's affiliated physician group under CareAbout Health, operating owned/affiliated practices in NJ with advanced payment model access. It is the natural vertical extension of PIC's network and a close regional peer.
