Coastal Health

What Coastal Health does

Coastal Health, legally operating as Physicians Group Services, P.A., is a physician-owned multi-specialty healthcare organization headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 2008 and serving Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. The company operates 15+ physical office locations across the Jacksonville metropolitan area, Orange Park, Middleburg, Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and St. Marys, and employs 500+ staff including 80+ certified providers, handling approximately 15,000 patient encounters per month. Service lines include Primary Care, Spine & Pain, Orthopedics, Podiatry, NexStep Integrated Care (pain and addiction medicine), Psychiatry, Nephrology, Injury/workers' compensation, and a Clinical Research division running Phase 2-4 trials across neurology, cardiology, and pain indications.

The clinical platform combines conventional multi-specialty care with several differentiated technology assets: exclusive access in North Florida to Regenexx regenerative medicine protocols (stem cell and PRP) supported by a sterile-certified biosafety cabinet and dedicated PRP laboratory, FDA-cleared MLS robotic laser therapy, and minimally invasive procedures (MILD, Vertiflex Superion, PainTeQ SI joint stabilization, peripheral nerve stimulation). A recent joint venture with Baptist Health and Compass Surgical Partners extends the platform into a multispecialty ambulatory surgery center at Middleburg. Patient engagement runs on the athenahealth ecosystem (portal, payments) and Sharecare for medical records requests.

The business model is insurance-based fee-for-service across a diversified payer mix (Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, Tricare), supplemented by clinical trial sponsor revenue. In November 2023, Physicians Group Services consolidated seven previously independent specialty brands under the unified Coastal Health umbrella with shared scheduling, billing, and patient software, signaling a platform-consolidation strategy rather than greenfield expansion.
