Performance Across All Markets in 2020 Demonstrates Improved Care and Lower System Costs
$86.5 Million in Shared Savings Delivered across Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC

ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Privia Health Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVA) today announced that its Accountable Care Organizations (“ACOs”) delivered quality care and improved patient outcomes, and achieved shared savings of $86.5 million through the Medicare Shared Savings Program (“MSSP”).

Privia’s ACOs (collectively “Privia Quality Network”) provided high-value, cost-efficient care to more than 121,000 Medicare beneficiaries in 2020.

“We understand how to meet healthcare providers where they are on their journey to improve care and outcomes in their community. These results are proof that the Privia Health platform is continuing to transform the healthcare delivery experience for patients and providers,” said Shawn Morris, CEO, Privia Health. “I am extremely proud of our physician and provider partners, care management teams and staff, who continue to focus on providing exceptional care and a differentiated experience.”

“In the MSSP program, many of our physician and provider partners take downside financial risk, and this 2020 performance is a tremendous example of how we continue to succeed in reducing unnecessary costs, achieving better outcomes and improving patient health,” Morris added. “We are pleased with these results and continue to expect to be at the high end of the full-year financial guidance range for our key metrics. In addition, we expect the success of these programs and our years of experience in managing and underwriting risk will help drive success as we move toward more full-risk arrangements.”

These company-wide results reflect Privia Health’s commitment to improving the health of communities served through technology, team-based care, and unique wellness programs that engage patients in their health, prevent disease, and enhance care coordination both in and outside of the doctor’s office.

Privia Quality Network includes physicians and advanced practitioners in Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC. Since 2014, Privia Quality Network has delivered total shared savings across government programs and commercial payers of more than $519 million, including more than $281 million through participation in the MSSP.
