Healthcare Associates of Texas

What Healthcare Associates of Texas does

Healthcare Associates of Texas (HCAT) is a Texas-based physician practice management company founded in 1991, headquartered in Irving, and serving Medicare beneficiaries through coordinated primary care. Its clinical stack spans in-person care, extended-hours clinics, transitional care, specialist referrals, clinical program services, and telehealth-enabled video visits, with operational support from a patient portal and bill-pay system. The company also runs community-facing wellness assets — an "Age Healthy Now" health content blog, a "Docs in a Pod" podcast, social media channels, and the WellMed Charitable Foundation — to engage seniors and caregivers beyond the clinic.

HCAT operates exclusively on a value-based, Medicare-reimbursement revenue model: the practice accepts multiple Medicare Advantage and Medicare plans, and revenue is generated per-member-per-month capitation and fee-for-service reimbursement. Pricing is determined by individual Medicare plans rather than publicly disclosed; HCAT is reimbursed for healthcare services delivered to enrolled Medicare beneficiaries. The go-to-market relies on a broker network for plan enrollment, provider referrals, and direct patient outreach through clinic locations and a regional clinic footprint covering Texas and Florida via its WellMed network. Marketing leverages content, podcasts, community events, and earned media to drive top-of-funnel awareness.

As of 2025, HCAT was merged into WellMed Medical Management Inc. alongside USMD, formalizing a multi-state Medicare-focused delivery platform. Past inorganic activity includes the March 2017 acquisition of McKinney Family Healthcare for an undisclosed sum. Walter Gaman is named as Executive Chairman and Founding Partner. The entity now operates as a subsidiary within WellMed rather than as an independently reporting business.
