Anne Arundel Gastroenterology Associates PA

What Anne Arundel Gastroenterology Associates PA does

Anne Arundel Gastroenterology Associates, P.A. is a physician-owned gastroenterology and hepatology practice founded in 1985/1986 and headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland. The practice employs 10 fellowship-trained, board-certified gastroenterologists and six mid-level providers, operating across seven clinical locations that span Anne Arundel, Prince George's, and Queen Anne's counties, with an additional Eastern Shore site in Easton. It serves adult patients presenting with the full spectrum of digestive disorders — abdominal pain, IBS/IBD, Crohn's disease, liver and pancreatic disease, acid reflux, hemorrhoids, gallstones, and colon cancer screening — and runs the Maryland Center for Digestive Health (MCDH), an AAAHC-accredited ambulatory surgery center that is described as the largest private endoscopy center in the state.

Revenue is generated through professional fees for office consultations and procedures (colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP, esophageal manometry, radiofrequency ablation) plus facility fees captured at the captive ASC. The practice accepts a broad commercial and government insurance mix including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Johns Hopkins, Medicare, Multiplan, Tricare East, United Healthcare, and University of Maryland. Patient acquisition combines physician referrals from hundreds of regional doctors, direct-to-consumer channels (website, online scheduling, testimonials on Google/Healthgrades/Vitals, Facebook), and telehealth visits delivered via Doxy.me, with a patient portal (mygportal.com) supporting records, scheduling, and bill pay. Operational partnership with Covenant Physician Partners, a Nashville-based physician services company, provides financial backing, back-office infrastructure, and clinical best-practice sharing that underwrites further growth. The practice holds AAAHC surgery center accreditation, CAP pathology lab accreditation, Newsweek America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2021 recognition, and multiple regional Top Docs awards, and reports a 4.83/5 star rating across 2,385 patient reviews.
