National Partners in Healthcare

NPH focuses on anesthesia, gastroenterology, and interventional pain management. These are procedure-driven, office-based, or ambulatory surgery center-oriented specialties where consolidating revenue cycle and payer contracting can meaningfully improve practice economics while preserving physician autonomy at the clinical level.

The firm generally acquires a controlling interest in physician practices and forms a joint venture where the founding physicians retain a minority equity stake. This structure is designed to align long-term clinical productivity with the platform's financial performance, differentiating it from models where physicians become employees of a hospital or pure private-equity platform.

It is neither. NPH is a private, physician services management company — essentially a holding platform for specialty physician groups. It provides the administrative infrastructure that allows independent practices to achieve group purchasing scale and negotiate more effectively with commercial payers, while remaining operationally distinct from hospital systems.
