RP Gulf Coast

What RP Gulf Coast does

RP Gulf Coast is a Houston-based radiology practice operating as a division of Singleton Associates, PA and managed by Radiology Partners, the national radiology practice management organization. Founded in 1992, the practice employs between 101 and 250 people and delivers diagnostic and therapeutic radiology services at multiple hospitals and outpatient medical centers across Texas, with primary concentration in the Houston metropolitan area and the broader HCA Healthcare Gulf Coast Division.

The practice offers a comprehensive subspecialty portfolio including Body Imaging, Breast Imaging, Cardiac Imaging, Musculoskeletal Imaging, Neuroradiology, Vascular & Interventional Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Diagnostic Radiology, and General Radiology. Service modalities span MRI, CT, PET-CT, mammography (including tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced mammography), ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and interventional procedures such as Y90 radioembolization, chemoembolization, and percutaneous ablation. Services are delivered by board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists with 24/7 final-read coverage and a dedicated after-hours call service for critical results communication with referring physicians.

RP Gulf Coast generates revenue through professional services billing via Singleton Associates, PA, contracting with hospitals and healthcare systems rather than directly with patients. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales into acute care hospital systems, anchored by a primary partnership with HCA Houston Healthcare System across multiple facility locations and supplemented by affiliations with independent hospitals (St. Joseph, United Memorial, Rice Medical, Oak Bend) and minor strategic alliances (Solis Mammography, Sarah Cannon, Society of Breast Imaging). Patient billing is handled centrally through Radiology Partners, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.
