HKD Outreach-ABC Medical Alliance

Why is ABC Medical’s transitioning to HKD Outreach?

ABC Medical’s leadership had gone through transitions in the leadup to this partnership.  The founder of the clinic felt that transition required a re-evaluation of the clinic policies and priorities.  Among the changes anticipated are an expansion of services to a wider range of patient populations, increase access to the bordering states of New Hampshire and Connecticut as well as the ability to conduct same day visits, walk-ins and faster registration-to-appointment turn arounds.  Access to inpatient services connected with the clinic were also a motivation for the transition as well as opportunities for a wider range of MassHealth, Medicaid, and managed Medicaid insurance providers.

Are existing ABC Medical patient’s automatically accepted for care at HKD Outreach?

Yes.  100% of existing ABC Medical clients are eligible for transition to HKD Outreach with all existing insurance coverages in place and expansion of insurance coverages now possible due to this strategic partnership.  Scope of services is also presently at the level previously provided by ABC Medical with an expansion of services previously not offered anticipated.
