Somatus Surpasses 500,000 Patients Actively Under Management Across All 50 States and DC
Value-based kidney care leader expands capabilities in CHF care management, commercial self-insured populations, and AI-driven disease identification and payment integrity services
MCLEAN, Va., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Somatus, the nation's leader in value-based, specialist-led primary care management for patients with, or at risk of, kidney and heart disease, today announced it now serves more than 500,000 patients across all 50 states and DC. With over $14B in healthcare costs under management, Somatus has achieved extraordinary growth through a combination of existing customer expansions, new client launches, and a broadening of capabilities to drive value for health plan customers and deliver outstanding clinical outcomes for patients. This milestone, paired with 100% customer and provider partner retention in 2024 and to date in 2025, reflects accelerating demand for Somatus' integrated care model and its commitment to support the holistic needs of patients with kidney disease, congestive heart failure (CHF), and other complex and commonly comorbid conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
During this period of remarkable growth, Somatus has continued to achieve outstanding clinical and population health outcomes for patients. In 2024, Somatus' national population health program delivered a 28% improved blood pressure control rate and a 48% higher home dialysis start rate for patients participating in the Somatus program, relative to USRDS national benchmarks. Additionally, Somatus dialysis centers achieved a mortality rate 20% below the CMS national benchmark and a kidney transplant rate 3.5 times higher than the national average.
Over the past year, Somatus has greatly advanced its clinical and technological capabilities, including:
- Extending its care model to patients with congestive heart failure, enhancing coordinated management for patients with chronic comorbidities
- Managing thousands of commercially insured groups, including 1,500+ self-funded organizations, further demonstrating the versatility and scalability of its value-based care approach
- Advancing early-stage disease identification through proprietary AI and predictive analytics to enable earlier, more proactive interventions
- Deploying payment integrity solutions to ensure appropriate premium payments for payor partners
- Contracting with 100+ nephrology practices and 5,500+ providers in value-based care partnerships across the country to ensure fully integrated and financially aligned care
"Somatus' growth reflects the trust our partners place in us and the high-quality clinical outcomes we deliver for patients," said Dr. Ikenna Okezie, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Somatus. "Expanding across populations and disease states allows us to deepen our impact, improve and extend lives, and build a more sustainable healthcare system grounded in prevention, accountability and whole-person care."
With local multidisciplinary care teams, a robust technology platform, and strong payor and provider partnerships, Somatus continues to redefine what is possible in value-based care for individuals with complex health needs. The company's work helps delay disease progression, reduce hospitalizations, improve quality of life, and lower total cost of care.
