Regal Medical Group (RMG)

With a network spanning more than 5,000 square miles and thousands of health care providers, Regal Medical Group is part of one of Southern California's largest managed health networks. That size works to your advantage, allowing us to be there to coordinate all of your health care, when and where you need us. In spite of our size, we remain rooted in close community and operate upon the simple, traditional principles of knowing our customer, and providing respectful, personal, quality care.

At Regal, we know that navigating the healthcare system can be complicated for patients and for physicians. We also believe that during a visit to your doctor, the focus should be on health and wellness. You should be discussing things like prevention, diagnosis, treatment and healing, not coverage, networks, claims, regulations and billing. That's where an IPA, like Regal Medical Group, is able to serve both patients and physicians, by managing the business of managed care so that you don't have to.

Regal Medical Group works together with your healthcare plan and your PCP to keep things running smoothly. We collaborate with our physicians to provide quality care, while focusing on minimizing your out of pocket expenses. One way that we keep your overall health care costs low is by emphasizing preventative care in order to keep you healthy.

National health care organizations join forces to advance population health management through full-risk, delegated care coordination

Livonia, Mich., and Marina del Rey, Calif. - (Jan. 12, 2015) - Trinity Health, one of the nation's leading health systems, and Heritage Provider Network, a global pioneer in coordinated care management, announced today the completion of a definitive agreement to form a joint venture, Trinity Health Partners, to provide population health management in select markets throughout the country. The partnership brings together two visionary organizations committed to redesigning health care to improve the health and wellness of individuals and communities.

"Heritage brings proven capabilities to improve and coordinate care for individuals that complement the acute care and population health initiatives we already have under way,” said Richard J. Gilfillan, M.D., president and CEO of Trinity Health. "This joint venture allows us to rapidly expand our capabilities to contract with payer-partners for full-risk, capitated arrangements that will result in better health, better care and lower costs in the communities we serve. This approach is a key part of our strategy to build a people-centered health system."

The joint venture calls for the partners to build care networks in different markets that will use new models for primary care, care management, hospitalist, post-acute care and high-risk clinics to improve and coordinate care.

"We are excited to offer Heritage's population health capabilities to the broader population served by Trinity Health's expansive national hospital system," said Richard Merkin, M.D., president and CEO of Heritage Provider Network. "Our proven methodology combined with Trinity Health's broad network will offer the opportunity to deliver affordable health and wellness to more people."

Heritage Provider Network has extensive experience coordinating the care of more than one million individuals in 15 markets across three states. Its high-performing networks, which regularly receive four and five-star ratings for Medicare Advantage performance, use innovative care management protocols that improve outcomes and provide individuals with unparalleled care and value. HPN remains the largest of the Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations, (ACOs) and has developed many of the care management processes that today constitute industry standards. HPN was also the creator and sponsor of the Heritage Health Prize Challenge, the world’s largest data analytics contest that sought the creation of an algorithm predicting hospital utilization.

"Population health management requires collaboration, new ideas and continued commitment to quality and safety," said Scott Nordlund, executive vice president, growth, strategy and innovation, Trinity Health. "Partnerships with organizations like Heritage allow us to bring new ideas and capabilities to our ministries faster."

Trinity Health is committed to becoming a people-centered health system that improves the health of individuals and the communities it serves. In the past year, it has taken numerous steps toward that goal, including development of value networks and regional partnerships aimed at clinical integration, creation of models of care in retail pharmacy settings that serve people when and where they need it and plans to deliver digital wellness tools. Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that nine Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) formed by Trinity Health's ministries allied with independent physicians are among 89 new Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations, effective January 1.
