Extends inpatient care to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (ApolloMed) (OTC-QB: AMEH), an integrated, physician-centric healthcare delivery company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to provide comprehensive hospitalist services for Blue Shield of California PPO members at hospitals at which ApolloMed is present. Additionally under the agreement, ApolloMed has extended its inpatient care to Cedars-Sinai® Medical Center for Blue Shield PPO, Exchange, Out of Network, and some HMO member patients.

“Partnering with ApolloMed reflects our shared commitment to provide patients with the best possible outcomes,” stated Marc Richmond, M.D., Regional Medical Director at Blue Shield of California. “Changes in the healthcare environment are increasing the need for a coordinated approach that focuses on efficiencies in managing patients and on quality patient care. We look forward to collaborating with ApolloMed physicians on staff at these hospitals to effectively manage care and provide positive member experiences.”

“We are excited to be selected by Blue Shield as its hospitalist partner,” stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Medical Holdings. “We provide ‘Best in Class’ inpatient services to effectively manage care and optimize utilization.
