About Sage Health
We believe all seniors regardless of means deserve concierge primary care & wellness, without the concierge fees. They’ve earned it.
Sage Health builds enriching neighborhood health centers that are easy to access, provide or arrange for all of our patients’ healthcare needs, and partner with Medicare Advantage plans that fully cover primary care. Unlike other physician practices, a Sage Health physician has a patient panel of 400 or less, and we collaborate with the best outcomes-oriented specialists and hospitals in each market. Because we are not a fee-for-service provider and manage patients within a global capitation budget provided by Medicare Advantage plans, our only concern and motivation is to keep our seniors healthy.
Sage Health is a destination for the best risk provider talent in the country who are building the new standard-bearing senior model for the United States.
