Capital Internal Medicine Associates

What Capital Internal Medicine Associates does

Capital Internal Medicine Associates (CIMA) is a physician-owned, multi-specialty medical practice headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, founded in 1978 by C.B. Dehlin, D.O. The organization operates as Capital Internal Medicine Associates P.C., a Michigan professional corporation with no venture capital, private equity, or corporate parent ownership. CIMA runs six clinic locations across the mid-Michigan region — including the Main Office in Lansing, Mount Hope Clinic, CIMA Breast Center in Haslett, Williamston Primary Care, Haslett Primary Care, and A New Beginning OBGYN — supported by 40+ physicians and advanced practice practitioners across internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, OBGYN, infectious disease, and radiology.

CIMA's service portfolio spans adult and pediatric primary care, preventive health, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension), women's health and obstetrics, hospitalist services at McLaren Greater Lansing, and specialty diagnostic imaging (3D mammography/tomosynthesis and Automated Breast Ultrasound for dense breast tissue). The practice operates on the eClinicalWorks EMR platform with patient portal access, Healow Pay for online bill payment, and a telehealth/televisit channel for Medicare wellness, diabetic management, and medication follow-up visits. Onsite Sparrow Hospital laboratory and Central Pharmacy services are integrated at the Main Office and Mount Hope Clinic respectively, embedding diagnostic and dispensing within the care delivery footprint.

CIMA generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service clinical billing to Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay patients, with a 40% uninsured discount applied at the Breast Center and unit-priced entertainment ultrasound services ($75 early gender reveal, $120 3D/4D imaging) at the OBGYN practice. The CIMA Breast Center holds a distinctive market position as the only private office in Greater Lansing offering 3D mammography with ABUS capability, and Haslett Primary Care operates as a certified Patient Centered Medical Home. The group has no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding rounds, and operates exclusively as an independent, physician-governed practice serving the Lansing-area community.

Broad incumbents

• McLaren Health Care: Michigan-based regional health system that is also CIMA's hospital partner at McLaren Greater Lansing. Operates general medical/surgical hospitals plus a network of ambulatory and physician services across Michigan, directly comparable as both a clinical partner and competing ambulatory provider in the Lansing market.
• Sparrow Health System (University of Michigan Health-Sparrow): Regional health system headquartered in Lansing, MI; operates Sparrow Hospital where CIMA's onsite laboratory services are provided. Comparable as a competing provider of primary care, specialty care, and diagnostic services across the same mid-Michigan geography.
• Trinity Health Michigan: Catholic regional health system operating hospitals, primary care, and specialty practices across Michigan including the Lansing area. Comparable as competing ambulatory provider and as a broader incumbent whose employment-model alternatives directly challenge CIMA's independent ownership.
• Henry Ford Health: Large Michigan-based academic-affiliated health system operating primary care, specialty care, hospitalist, and imaging services across metro Detroit and surrounding regions. Comparable as a multi-specialty ambulatory competitor offering primary care plus advanced imaging including mammography.

Direct peers

• ChenMed: Physician-owned primary care group focused on senior Medicare patients using a PCMH-style integrated model with onsite specialists, pharmacy, and imaging. Comparable to CIMA's PCMH designation, Medicare-heavy patient mix, and integrated onsite services at Lansing sites.
• Oak Street Health: Senior-focused primary care group operating under value-based PCMH economics with onsite services including diagnostics. Directly comparable to CIMA in Medicare-targeting primary care, integrated imaging, and chronic disease management across multi-clinic sites.
• One Medical (Amazon One Medical): Tech-enabled, multi-location primary care platform offering in-person + telehealth access with integrated patient portal. Comparable as a primary care operator scaling in-person and virtual visits across multiple locations with EMR/portal infrastructure.
• Privia Health Group: National physician practice platform that enables independent multi-specialty and primary care groups to operate under shared technology, payer contracts, and PCMH workflows. Highly comparable to CIMA in physician-ownership economics and multi-location ambulatory model.

Emerging players

• U.S. Anesthesia Partners / Specialty Care Physician Platforms: PE-backed physician services platform that acquires and operates independent specialty practices. Comparable as a counterpoint that demonstrates how independent specialty practices like CIMA may eventually be approached for consolidation by capital-backed roll-ups.
• Cano Health (CenterWell Senior Primary Care): Multi-location primary care operator focused on Medicare/MA beneficiaries with integrated clinical services. Comparable to CIMA in PCMH-style senior care delivery at multi-clinic scale, relevant as a benchmark for where value-based primary care scaling can go.
