National medical group Envision Healthcare is transitioning out of the imaging business and has tapped Radiology Partners to onboard up to 400 radiologists.
The companies emphasized that this is not an acquisition, and it will include a “transition agreement” under which Rad Partners will provide a path forward for Envision Healthcare clients who choose to continue care through its practice. Being solely focused on radiology, Rad Partners said it hopes to minimize client and patient disruption during transitions.
“As the transition unfolds throughout 2025, [Rad Partners] is focused on earning the trust of Envision radiology clients… Concurrently, the practice is committed to welcoming Envision radiologists and support teammates thoughtfully, knowing that exceptional patient care begins with empowered teams and strong local relationships,” Rad Partners said in a news release.
In 2017, with the acquisition of radiology services provider Imaging Advantage, Envision Healthcare boasted more than 800 board-certified or board-eligible radiologists who were interpreting more than 10 million studies each year.
In 2023, Envision Healthcare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, citing, among other reasons, the "flawed implementation of the No Surprises Act," a national clinician shortage, and rising inflation.
