CHARLOTTE — Today, Tryon Medical Partners, the Charlotte region’s largest internistbased independent medical practice, announced Tryon Direct — a new offering by the practice to self-insured mid-size and large businesses in the Charlotte region.
“Since Tryon Medical Partners became an independent medical practice last year, our focus has been to restore the patient-doctor relationship to make it central to healthcare,” said Dr. Dale Owen, CEO of Tryon Medical Partners. “Businesses that participate in Tryon Direct can expect their employees to have unlimited access to their primary care physician — who is their healthcare quarterback — and is highly-skilled to address the majority of the patient’s needs in their office.
” Unnecessary and costly referrals to specialists will be reduced significantly and the incentivized costs of hospital systems and other ‘fee for service’ providers will be avoided whenever possible,” Owen added.
Each company participating in Tryon Direct will have solutions customized to their unique needs, including a plan to leverage comprehensive primary care services. Businesses that participate in Tryon Direct will have full access to Tryon Medical Partners doctors — the Charlotte region’s largest primary care/internist-based medical practice, with 89 board-certified physicians, 64 of whom are internists and 25 of whom specialize in cardiology, endocrinology, dermatology, gastroenterology, pulmonary and sleep medicine.
