The Humana subsidiary will also add 49 affiliate practices to its network through downstream participation arrangements.

Humana Inc. subsidiary and geriatric care provider Conviva is buying a South Florida primary care physician network that will add 12 healthcare centers to its network.

Financial terms were not disclosed for the deal, which includes the acquisition Health Promoters Limited Liability Company; Jupiter Medical Group, Inc.; Primary Care Associates, Inc.; and Richard M. Hays, M.D., P.A., all of which are owned by Rajendra Bansal, M.D.

"I am so proud of what we have built in our centers and practices where our team does such an outstanding job, every day, of looking after the health of the senior population we serve," Bansal said.

"It is clear to me that Conviva also has a great approach to serving this population, and I want all of our patients to know that they will be in good hands in the years ahead," he said. "Conviva takes the time to treat their patients right."

The four practices will expand Conviva's footprint in Florida with 12 new centers and more than 200 new Conviva employees, including more than 40 physicians, physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses.

Conviva will also add 49 affiliate practices to its network through downstream participation arrangements.

The Florida care centers in the deal are in Ft. Pierce, Jupiter, Lake Park, Port St. Lucie, Royal Palm Beach, Stuart and Wellington.

Kevin Meriwether, Care Delivery Organization Divisional Leader for Florida, said the acquisition meshes with Conviva's holistic, value-based, managed care model.  

"We're excited to grow Conviva's presence in South Florida – especially as we'll now serve more seniors who live in Treasure Coast region," Meriwether said. "Under Dr. Bansal's leadership, his network has earned a reputation for providing high-quality care for seniors throughout the region, and we look forward to continuing that tradition."

The deal brings the total of geriatric primary care centers Humana owns to more than 170 – including its Conviva, Partners in Primary Care, and Family Physicians Group facilities across the nation.
