Nephrology · Endocrinology · Rheumatology for rural & critical access hospitals
Every week your patients drive two hours for a specialist, and the labs, imaging, and infusions go with them. Edison brings those specialists to you, virtual-first, so the revenue stays on your books.
Illustrative, anchored to Medicare rates and your clinic cadence. Actual revenue depends on payer mix and 340B status; at a Critical Access Hospital, Medicare ancillaries are paid at cost, so margin concentrates in commercial volume and 340B infusion drugs.
What we cover
The easy fix
You already know these patients leave and take the labs, imaging, and infusions with them. The fix is simpler than it looks. Bring the specialist in, virtually, and keep all of it. No recruiting. No long build-out. Live in weeks.
We supply the board-certified specialists. You don't recruit, relocate, or carry anyone on payroll.
Technology and workflow go in quickly. You're running the clinic in weeks, not a year.
From day one, the visits, labs, imaging, and infusions land on your P&L, not a clinic two hours away.
How it works
We don't just send a physician. We stand up the whole specialty program and drive the demand that fills it, so the clinic runs and the revenue stays home.
Board-certified nephrologists, endocrinologists, and rheumatologists, ready to see your patients quickly. You don't recruit, relocate, or carry them full-time.
Telehealth, EHR connection, scheduling, and the lab and infusion workflows. Quick integration, so you're up and running in weeks, not a year.
We help your team build the buzz and get patients in the door, through community outreach and your referring primary-care providers.
Training for your local physicians, nurses, and staff so they can manage these patients confidently between specialist visits.
Every visit, lab, image, and infusion stays on your P&L. We charge a fixed program fee for the service.
Reach
We already run programs in rural counties across several states, including Ohio, West Virginia, and Alabama. The only real hurdle is volume, so we go wherever there are enough patients to serve, and we get there quickly.
Rural counties across Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, and growing.
If there's enough patient demand, we can serve your state. That's the bar.
Most of our specialists hold Interstate Medical Licensure Compact licenses, so a new state onboards in weeks.
Who we are
Edison was founded and is operated by former Chief Medical Officers of large health systems and executives from Fortune 100 healthcare companies. We have sat on the other side of the table. We know the pain of a specialty you can't staff and the margin you watch leave the building every week, and we built Edison to fix it. We don't need to be in the room to run your clinic. We need to make the economics work for you.
