TriStar Medical Group

What TriStar Medical Group does

TriStar Medical Group is a multi-specialty physician practice network operating as a subsidiary of HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA) within the TriStar Health system. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, the network comprises more than 300 physicians and providers across over 50 office locations spanning Middle Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Southeast Tennessee (including Chattanooga and Bowling Green). The organization serves individual patients and families with a portfolio of 12+ specialty service lines — cardiology (Centennial Heart), neurological care (Centennial Neuroscience), gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedic care (Southern Joint Replacement Institute), pediatrics, women's care (Centennial Women's Group), endocrinology, pulmonary care, surgery, infectious disease, and sleep disorders — anchored by primary care.

The digital and operational technology stack is built primarily on third-party platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: the Healow-powered telehealth platform for virtual visits, the MyHealthOne patient portal for scheduling, prescription refills, lab results, and secure messaging, Parallon ePAY for online bill pay, and Formstack for patient registration forms. Accessibility is being aligned with Section 508 and W3C WCAG 2.1, and PHI handling is governed by HIPAA. Marketing and analytics rely on Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Meta/LinkedIn/X advertising integrations.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service healthcare delivery, with payment collected via insurance co-pays, deductibles, and patient payments at the time of service. The network accepts major commercial and government payers including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare. Pricing is insurance-plan-dependent and is not publicly disclosed; Medicare Annual Wellness Visits are promoted as a no-copay preventive service. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer across a two-state regional footprint, with patient acquisition supported by a toll-free contact center, online scheduling, and the parent brand presence of HCA Healthcare.
