Market Landscape
The acquisition reflects a wider pattern of health systems folding independent orthopedic and specialty practices into their own networks to coordinate care and patient records. Bon Secours is extending that model across Hampton Roads by unifying a three-location practice under its existing orthopedic brand.
Patients of Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center can keep seeing their current providers without interruption. They will also gain access to Bon Secours' MyChart patient portal for managing records and communicating with their care team.
The takeaway
Patients of independent specialty practices should confirm how acquisitions affect their insurance, records access and provider relationships. Keeping current contact information and reviewing portal access early can make the transition smoother.
