Mission Health

What Mission Health does

Mission Health is a not-for-profit-origin regional health system serving Western North Carolina, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA) under the legal entity C-HCA, Inc. The network comprises six acute care hospitals — Mission Hospital (Asheville flagship), Mission Hospital McDowell, Angel Medical Center, Blue Ridge Regional Hospital, Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, and Transylvania Regional Hospital — plus specialty facilities including Mission Children's Hospital, CarePartners (post-acute/rehabilitation), Eckerd Living Center, the South Asheville freestanding ER, and numerous outpatient sites. Across 30+ medical specialties (cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, women's care, burn care, mental health, pediatrics, NICU, etc.), the network recorded 1.9 million patient encounters in 2023.

The core operating technology stack is HCA Healthcare's enterprise IT infrastructure, including electronic health records, the MyHealthOne patient portal (record access, scheduling, pre-registration, secure messaging, bill payment), a Patient Payment Estimator for cost transparency, an online Classes and Events registration platform, and conventional diagnostic imaging and clinical operations tooling deployed across all facilities. No AI/ML capabilities, public APIs, or proprietary developer-facing platforms are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through standard fee-for-service billing to insured and uninsured patients, Medicare, Medicaid, and other third-party payers across emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care. Pricing is structured via a multi-tier financial assistance program — full charity care for 0–200% of Federal Poverty Level, expanded assistance for 201–400% FPL, Patient Liability Protection for 400–1000% FPL, uninsured discounts pegged to managed-care rates, and a 20% prompt-pay discount for same-day payment — paired with interest-free payment plans. Distribution is direct-to-patient via hospital facilities, physician practices (Mission Health Physicians), walk-in care, urgent care (Mission My Care Now), and online portal flows, with marketing concentrated in community education, social media, and events rather than enterprise sales.
