About

Partners In Care is a clinically integrated network (CIN) that enables physician practices to collaborate on better and more coordinated patient care while managing costs — key requirements of any value-based contract. We implement an active and ongoing program — a comprehensive set of resources that physicians can utilize while fostering a high degree of interdependence and cooperation among our members.


Partners In Care brings together established networks of independent physicians, employed physicians, and health systems, and facilitates network growth, value-based care, service delivery, and alternative payment models.

By joining Partners In Care, participating practices can draw on our network’s collective resources and value-based contracts with payers. In return, physicians are required to deliver better integrated care while lowering the overall cost of care. To promote success, we offer a wealth of new capabilities and support.

Providers are required to adopt population health management services and have the option to select other optional services and technologies. See Services page for details. As practices gain new value-based capabilities, they may have the opportunity to join Consensus Health, New Jersey’s fastest-growing independent medical group.
