Virginia Care Partners

What Virginia Care Partners does

Virginia Care Partners is a physician-led clinically integrated network and Accountable Care Organization headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, founded in 2013 as a collaboration between independent physicians and HCA-employed physicians in the Richmond metro area. The organization operates two interconnected components: the Virginia Care Partners Clinically Integrated Network, which secures value-based contracts with six major commercial payers and a Medicare Advantage plan, and the Virginia Care Partners ACO, LLC, established in July 2019 under the CMS Medicare Shared Savings Program Pathways to Success Model (BASIC Track Level A). The network comprises approximately 1,100 providers — around 250 primary care physicians and 700 specialists across more than 40 medical and surgical specialties — serving roughly 22,000–23,000 Medicare beneficiaries plus commercial attributed lives in the Richmond, Central Virginia, and Tri-Cities regions.

The organization delivers care coordination through a suite of service modules: a proprietary analytics platform built in partnership with Optum and HCA's Value Based Entities Analytics team that provides dashboards and predictive analytics for disease management, care gap closure, and readmission reduction; a dedicated clinical support team of nurses, pharmacists, and coders providing Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI); proactive patient outreach for preventive care and post-acute follow-up; and educational resources for practices and patients. Performance has been strong: $1.1M in shared savings with a 100% quality score in the inaugural 2019 measurement period and $3.3M with a 98.4% quality score in 2020, generating over $14M in cumulative Medicare savings and earning 'exceptional performers' status nationally from CMS.

Revenue is generated through shared savings arrangements under the MSSP and value-based contracts with six major commercial payers; the organization does not publicly disclose its standalone revenue. As an affiliate of HCA Healthcare, VCP benefits from integration with HCA Virginia's hospital infrastructure (14 hospitals, 8 freestanding ERs, 27 outpatient centers, 23 imaging centers, 13 urgent care centers). Strategic direction is set under HCA's operational control while clinical decisions are governed by a physician Board of Managers; recent partnerships with Pearl Health (2025) and Fortify Children's Health (2026) indicate ongoing expansion of value-based capabilities and reach.
