NEPHROLOGY ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH MIAMI, P.A

What NEPHROLOGY ASSOCIATES OF SOUTH MIAMI, P.A does

Nephrology Associates of South Miami, P.A. (NASM), operating as Kidney Doctors of Miami, is a physician-owned specialty medical practice founded in 1988 and headquartered at 9193 Sunset Drive, Suite 200, Miami, Florida. The practice delivers comprehensive nephrology care — including chronic kidney disease management, all dialysis modalities (in-center hemodialysis, nocturnal hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, automated peritoneal dialysis), hypertension management, glomerulonephritis, kidney stone treatment, polycystic kidney disease management, acute kidney injury, and pre-/post-kidney transplant evaluation — through a team of eight board-certified nephrologists and four advanced practice providers across five clinic locations in Miami-Dade County (Sunset, West Kendall, Homestead, Doral, Perrine).

The practice operates a referral-driven, sales-led model anchored in physician-to-physician relationships, community/hospital affiliations, and medical staff committee participation at six hospitals across Baptist Health South Florida and Jackson Health System. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service professional billing across a broad in-network payer mix (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Coventry, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid, Molina, Tricare), supplemented by Medical Directorships at 12+ Fresenius Medical Care and DaVita outpatient dialysis centers. There is no proprietary technology platform; clinical operations rely on a standard AthenaHealth patient portal, and patient acquisition is organic through institutional referral networks rather than paid marketing.

Underlying structural economics combine long-cycle, recurring CKD/dialysis patient relationships with a concentrated referral ecosystem in a single Florida county, supported by hospital privileges and dialysis Medical Directorships that would be difficult for a new entrant to replicate quickly.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Renal Care: Regional dialysis provider with nephrologist Medical Director relationships across multiple states; comparable service line targeting the same ESRD population.
• American Renal Associates (Innovative Renal Care): Mid-sized U.S. dialysis provider with nephrologist partnerships; competes for Medical Director economics and serves overlapping ESRD patient population.
• Fresenius Medical Care: Largest U.S. dialysis provider and NASM's dominant dialysis partner; overlapping patient population around CKD and dialysis, though Fresenius operates the facility side while NASM provides the physician oversight.
• DaVita: Second-largest U.S. dialysis chain with overlapping Miami-Dade footprint (DaVita South Dade, DaVita Keys Gate are NASM-affiliated). Competes for nephrologist Medical Director relationships.

Others

• National Kidney Foundation: Patient advocacy and education organization; relevant as an ecosystem partner (NASM promotes NKF resources) but not a commercial competitor.
• Renal Physicians Association: Professional association representing nephrology practitioners; adjacent ecosystem participant that shapes policy and practice standards relevant to NASM's operating model.
