What Epic Medical does

Epic Medical is an independent, physician-owned family medicine practice located at 715 Dorseyville Road in the Fox Chapel suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The practice was established around 2015-2016 by Dr. Eric Skvarla, DO and Kristine Watson, FNP, both board-certified in family medicine, and operates as a membership-based medical practice (MBMP) with a team of 11-50 staff including a physical therapist and clinical/administrative support. It delivers integrated outpatient care across four core verticals: family medicine, concierge medicine, sports medicine, and physical therapy, supplemented by wellness coaching, nutrition counseling, joint injections (corticosteroid, viscosupplementation, PRP), trigger point therapy, concussion management, testosterone replacement therapy, and men's and women's health services.

The practice runs on a dual revenue model. Traditional fee-for-service visits are billed through five major insurance networks — Aetna, Cigna, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and UPMC Health Plan — while a separate concierge membership tier provides enhanced access for $300/month (adult), $525/month (couple), $200/month (child 5-12), and $150/month (child 13-18), with a 10% discount for annual prepayment and special pricing for families of six or more. Service delivery is supported by third-party technology infrastructure: the Treatspace/PracticeBeat platform handles practice management and patient engagement, Athenahealth powers the online patient portal, and telemedicine is offered for follow-up consultations. Patient acquisition is primarily direct-to-consumer via the practice website, phone scheduling, Google Business reviews (30 verified reviews, 5/5 rating), an active educational blog, and a Facebook presence.

Epic Medical is structured as a private, owner-operated clinical practice with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, funding rounds, mergers, acquisitions, or formal partnerships. Geographic reach is restricted to a single physical site serving the greater Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania market, and all clinical operations depend on the two founding clinicians. The business carries no proprietary technology, no patents, no API surface, and no documented AI or automation capabilities.

Regional players

• ChenMed: Value-based primary care group focused on senior patients with a concierge-like service model. Comparable in its family-doctor + on-site specialty integration and high-touch patient model, though operating in different geographies.

Direct peers

• PartnerMD: Membership-based concierge primary care practice offering 24/7 access, same-day appointments, and annual comprehensive physicals. Closely mirrors Epic Medical's combination of family medicine, executive-level access, and in-network insurance participation.
• MDVIP: The largest concierge medicine network in the U.S., connecting independent physicians with patients paying annual membership fees for enhanced access. Directly comparable to Epic Medical's concierge membership model and ideal benchmark for membership economics.
• Concierge Choice Physicians: Consulting and network operator helping independent practices adopt hybrid concierge models. Highly relevant to Epic Medical's dual insurance + concierge approach.
• Castle Connolly Private Health Partners: Concierge medicine network that partners with independent top-rated physicians to deliver membership-based primary care. Comparable to Epic Medical in its physician-led concierge model and focus on personalized preventive care.
• Specialdocs: Consultancy that converts traditional practices into concierge models. Comparable as a structural and economic analog to Epic Medical's membership-based practice.

Emerging players

• Sollis Health: Premium concierge and urgent care provider offering 24/7 access, house calls, and specialist referrals on a membership basis. Comparable to Epic Medical's concierge value proposition and pricing tier.
• Forward Health: Tech-enabled primary care membership practice with biometric screening and personalized health plans. Comparable subscription model and focus on whole-person preventive care.

Broad incumbents

• Privia Health: Physician practice enablement platform supporting independent primary care and specialty practices with technology, payer contracting, and population health tools. Comparable as an enabler/incumbent perspective on independent physician practices.
• One Medical (Amazon): Membership-based primary care platform (now owned by Amazon) offering tech-enabled access, same-day appointments, and digital tools. A scaled incumbent that both validates the membership-primary-care model and represents a structural threat to independent practices.
