Dallas Nephrology Associates (DNA), the largest nephrology practice in Texas, has received national recognition for a revolutionary new practice model that has improved patient care and could save payors millions of dollars. DNA has participated in several projects with Medicare that has already resulted in millions of dollars in savings to the agency. Nephrology is the medical specialty dedicated to the study of the kidneys, encompassing their diagnosis, treatment, and management. For many with chronic kidney disease (CKD), this innovative value-based care model has been life-changing.
In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, DNA stands out as a nationwide leader in the nephrology space through its value-based care model. Faced with challenges in the traditional fee-for-service model and a continued annual reduction in Medicare physician reimbursement, DNA reevaluated its care platform in 2016. Through continual monitoring of key metrics, DNA has continued to improve patient outcomes while reducing costs.
