McLean, Virginia-based Somatus announced a new value-based care partnership with Duneland Nephrology. This acquisition brings care to patients with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease in northwest Indiana. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Duneland Nephrology serves patients throughout northwest Indiana. It is run by four physicians out of one location. The practice provides care for chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, dialysis, renal transplant follow-up and more.
As one of the nation’s leading and largest value-based kidney care companies, Somatus partners with nephrology and primary care groups, health plans and health systems to provide care for patients with, or at risk of developing, kidney disease. Somatus’ clinical services and technology delay or prevent disease progression, improve care coordination and increase the use of home dialysis modalities and rates of kidney transplantation.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition marks the 123rd Physician Medical Groups (PMG) transaction of the year and second in the nephrology specialty. From January 1, 2022, through March 23, 2022, 129 PMG transactions were reported.
