Nitin has broad healthcare experience in value-based care models across payers and providers. Before joining US Renal Care, Nitin served as Chief Operating Officer at Centene Corporation, a leading managed care payer with $100+ Billion in revenues. At Centene, Nitin helped incubate and grow a new business focused on providing services to health plans and provider groups to manage risk and total cost of care for various populations.
Although the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has delayed the start of payment models for kidney care, one dialysis provider says it remains committed to the concept.
At a high level, I think we remain super committed to value-based care, it is the wave of the future. US Renal staffed up to be ready for the April 1 launch and engaged physician partners; for the time being, staff have been reassigned to other programs and that the company remains very excited about doing this at a larger scale.
