ApolloMed ACO Increases Patient Enrollment to 30,000 Medicare Beneficiaries and Number of Physicians to More Than 700

Expands into Northern California, Mississippi and Ohio

GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. (ApolloMed) (OTC-QB: AMEH), an integrated, physician-centric healthcare delivery company, today announced that its subsidiary ApolloMed ACO has increased its member physicians to more than 700 with patient enrollment now at 30,000 Medicare beneficiaries. ApolloMed ACO now has physicians and patients in Los Angeles County and Orange County in Southern California, Alameda County in the San Francisco Bay Area and Tulare County in Central California, as well as in Mississippi and Ohio.

“The goal of ApolloMed ACO is to improve the quality of care for Medicare fee-for-service patients,” stated Warren Hosseinion, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Medical Holdings. “We are leveraging our population management and data analytics expertise to more efficiently manage patient costs through improved care delivery with a focus on higher quality patient outcomes, more efficient utilization and better care coordination among providers. Our success has allowed us to expand our ACO network throughout the U.S., and we welcome our new physician partners and patients in Northern California, Mississippi and Ohio.”

In March 2013, ApolloMed announced interim financial results from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that show that ApolloMed ACO decreased expenditures by $3.1 million from its benchmark during the first 12 months of its participation. ApolloMed was one of less than half of the ACOs enrolled in 2012 to reduce costs from their respective benchmarks. ApolloMed ACO’s first performance year covers 18 months, from July 2012 to December 2013, and final year-one performance results will be released by CMS later this year.
