What RENAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATES, P.C. does

Renal Medical Associates, P.C. is an independent private nephrology medical practice established in 1983 and headquartered in the Knoxville, Tennessee metropolitan area. The practice delivers comprehensive kidney care, including diagnosis and long-term management of chronic kidney disease stages 1-5, a full spectrum of dialysis modalities (home-based peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, in-center hemodialysis, and acute inpatient hemodialysis), kidney transplant evaluation and referral, post-transplant care, and specialized services such as pregnancy-related kidney care, anemia management, and diabetic kidney disease management. Care is delivered by three board-certified nephrologists—Dr. James Ogrodowski, Dr. Marcia Williams-Lyons, and Dr. Suresh N. Kumar—supported by an approximately 14-person staff.

The practice operates two clinical locations: a primary office at 7650 Dannaher Drive in Powell, Tennessee, and a second office at 9314 Parkwest Boulevard in Knoxville, both offering on-site laboratory services with structured weekday hours. Clinical and administrative operations are supported by the Acumen MD electronic health record platform and a MyChart-based patient portal (mychart.acumenmd.com / myhealth.acumenehr.com), which enables online appointment scheduling, prescription refill requests, and secure patient-provider communication. No proprietary technology, patents, AI tools, or third-party integrations beyond the EHR are documented.

Revenue is generated through standard fee-for-service clinical billing to insurance payors, with accepted forms of payment including major credit cards, debit, checks, and cash; specific payor mix, payer contracts, and pricing are not publicly disclosed. Patient acquisition relies primarily on referrals from primary care physicians and the practice's long-standing regional reputation. The practice is structured as a Tennessee professional corporation, is independently owned by its operating physicians, and reports no parent company, external funding, partnerships, or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• Fresenius Medical Care: Global dialysis giant with the largest U.S. clinic network, plus products, value-based care, and the InterWell Health kidney-care platform. Comparable as a vertically integrated dialysis and nephrology competitor pursuing the same patients and physician relationships.
• DaVita: Largest U.S. dialysis services provider with thousands of in-center hemodialysis facilities and integrated nephrology arrangements. Comparable as a dialysis services competitor and frequent acquirer of independent nephrology practices, though vastly larger and publicly traded.
• InterWell Health: Value-based kidney care organization formed by Fresenius, Cricket Health, and InterWell, providing nephrology network management and CKD care to health plans. Comparable as a nephrology network competitor aggregating practices similar to Renal Medical Associates.

Direct peers

• Satellite Healthcare: Non-profit operator of outpatient dialysis centers and chronic kidney disease programs with strong physician partnerships. Comparable as a multi-modality dialysis and CKD management provider with similar community/physician-aligned operating model.
• U.S. Renal Care: Mid-sized U.S. dialysis provider operating outpatient centers and affiliated nephrology practices across multiple states. Comparable as a multi-modality dialysis services competitor with similar patient population, though at significantly greater geographic and capital scale.

Emerging players

• Somatus: Value-based kidney care company partnering with health plans and nephrology groups to manage CKD/ESRD patients. Comparable as a kidney-care services competitor targeting the same patient base, with an at-risk contracting model.
• Strive Health: Value-based kidney-care platform managing CKD and ESRD populations through in-home care, RPM, and partnerships with nephrologists. Comparable as a kidney-care delivery model competing for the same patient pool, though at materially greater scale and capital.
• Dialyze Direct: Provider of on-site dialysis in skilled nursing facilities, addressing ESRD patients with limited mobility. Comparable as a dialysis services provider serving overlapping patient cohorts, though focused on SNF rather than office-based delivery.
• Monogram Health: In-home kidney and primary care provider focused on CKD/ESRD populations, operating value-based contracts with major insurers. Comparable as a nephrology-led care model for the same end-patients, but with national reach and technology-enabled delivery.

Others

• American Kidney Fund: National non-profit providing financial assistance, education, and advocacy for kidney disease patients. Comparable in patient population served but adjacent (not-for-profit support) rather than a direct clinical or commercial competitor.
