Tulsa, OK – (March 20, 2020) – During this challenging time of COVID-19 Coronavirus, when comprehensive and efficient health care is critical, two local health care groups are combining their resources, allowing both to provide a greater spectrum of care. Access Medical Centers of Oklahoma – a brand of NextCare Holdings, Inc., and Utica Park Clinic (UPC) – the multi-specialty physician group of Hillcrest HealthCare System, have announced a strategic affiliation to serve the communities of the Tulsa, Oklahoma metro area.
Access Medical Centers and Utica Park Clinic have partnered with the goal of providing increased access to high quality health care. The affiliation will also support patient experience by providing seamless navigation through the continuum of care.
“We’re excited for Access Medical Centers to work with such a highly regarded, established local partner like Utica Park Clinic to offer residents the highest standard for quality and service in the most appropriate care setting,” said John Julian, CEO of NextCare Holdings.
Access Medical Centers offer 12 Tulsa-area locations that are open seven days a week. The clinics accept most insurance plans, including Medicaid (SoonerCare), TRICARE, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, United Health Care, Medicare and many others. For uninsured or underinsured patients, Access Medical Centers offer discount programs that can be used in conjunction with a high-deductible catastrophic policy.
Online check-in is available through Access Medical Center’s WAHOO (Wait At Home Or Office) service. Patients sign up online, over the phone or at the clinic. This feature allows patients to reserve their place within the queue at their preferred clinic location.
“Utica Park Clinic and Oklahoma Access Medical Centers Urgent Care facilities are eager to partner together to provide seamless delivery of the most appropriate level of care to our patients,” said Jim Kaltenbacher, CEO of Utica Park Clinic. “This partnership will increase access points for patients and improve outcomes and quality of care provided in the communities served by Access and UPC. We look forward to meeting the needs of more patients with this approach to care coordination.”
