Ob/Gyn Associates

What Ob/Gyn Associates does

OB/GYN Associates of Erie is an independent, private physician practice incorporated in Pennsylvania as OB-GYN Associates of Erie, PC. Founded in 1991 through the merger of Dr. Dailey's and Drs. Scutella and Brzozowski's private OB-GYN practices, the firm operates from a main office at 100 Peach Street in Erie plus a secondary Erie location at 2315 Myrtle Street and a satellite office in Meadville, PA. The practice was acquired/affiliated with Unified Women's Healthcare, LP, which operates its website platform.

The clinical portfolio spans obstetrics (prenatal through postpartum, including high-risk pregnancies), certified nurse midwifery, gynecology (well-woman care, family planning, menopause management), and gynecologic surgery including DaVinci robotic procedures. Diagnostic capabilities are unusually broad for an independent practice: 3D/4D ultrasound (AIUM-accredited since 1999), Siemens Inspiration Prime 3D mammography (ACR-accredited 20+ years), Invenia ABUS 2.0 automated breast ultrasound, GE Lunar Prodigy DXA bone densitometry with FRAX, and a CLIA-certified, Pennsylvania Level III on-site laboratory. Add-on lines include i-LIPO and microdermabrasion cosmetic services, pelvic floor physical therapy, hereditary cancer genetic testing via Ambry Genetics, and FMLA/disability form processing via HealthMark.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly fee-for-service clinical billing through major payors (Highmark, UPMC, Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Tricare, and several managed-Medicaid plans), with supplemental administrative fees ($35 per FMLA/disability form, $10 medical records) and cosmetic procedure fees quoted on inquiry. The practice accepts most major insurances, collects co-pays at time of service, and uses an Athena Health patient portal (launched October 2023) and Keona Health online scheduling for patient acquisition and retention. Inpatient deliveries are performed at both Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC Hamot and Saint Vincent Hospital.
