Knoxville Pediatric Associates

What Knoxville Pediatric Associates does

Knoxville Pediatric Associates, P.C. (KPA) is a private pediatric medical practice founded in 1996 through the merger of three of Knoxville's oldest pediatric groups (Knoxville Pediatric Group, Pediatric Associates of Knoxville, and later Foothills Pediatric Group). The practice operates five physical offices organized into three distinct practice settings across the Knoxville, Farragut, and Alcoa, Tennessee metropolitan area: Clinch/Cross Park, Weisgarber/Farragut, and Foothills. KPA is staffed by 31 board-certified pediatricians plus nurse practitioners and a broader support organization (total headcount 251–500), and serves families with children from birth through age 21 — providing care continuity until transition to adult providers at age 22.

The practice's service portfolio spans the full pediatric care continuum: well-child visits and immunizations, same-day acute sick visits with on-site rapid testing (strep, flu, RSV) and on-site X-ray, newborn care with lactation consultation, chronic disease management (asthma and others), developmental and behavioral services including ADHD evaluation, autism assessment, and mental health support via on-site child psychologists, prenatal consultations for expectant parents, and a weight management program (Growing Healthy Study / WOW). Core technology consists of an electronic medical records system with a patient portal, online bill pay, and practice management software for scheduling and billing. Supporting clinical devices include an ocular photoscreening device for amblyopia screening at 1- and 2-year visits and in-office rapid antigen diagnostics. Marketing is driven by community word-of-mouth, patient testimonials, an active Instagram presence (@kpaknoxpeds), and a Linktree aggregation, supplemented by extensive patient-education content on the website.

KPA generates revenue on a per-visit, fee-for-service basis through insurance billing, accepting a broad payer mix including Aetna, BCBS (all networks), BlueCare, CIGNA, Humana, TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, Amerigroup, and multiple TennCare plans. Self-pay options exist for uninsured patients, and co-pays/deductibles are collected at the time of service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. As of May 1, 2026, KPA is integrated with Summit Medical Group, with visit charges now processed through the Summit Medical Portal — a structural partnership that re-routes back-office operations without altering the direct-to-consumer patient relationship.
