The Advanced Practice Clinician Collaborative (APCC) is an innovative program whereby a group of fully licensed Advanced Practitioners (AP) work closely with very experienced physicians and APs to care for patients and further develop their clinical skills.  Reliant is excited about this new program because it allows patients to receive highly attentive healthcare while newer providers have the chance to work with and learn from our longtime providers. 

As a patient in this program, you would schedule your visits with an AP on the APC Collaborative team who would provide your care in collaboration with an onsite, supervising physician or AP who has been practicing for many years at Reliant and elsewhere.  At all times your healthcare needs will be prioritized.  You will continue to have access to all of the same services you have now, including lab and radiology services, as well as access to Reliant’s world-class specialists.

FAQs

Does my insurance cover the APC Collaborative Program?
Yes, all of the providers in this program are fully licensed Advanced Practitioners and credentialed with the insurance plans we accept.

If I choose to enter this APC Collaborative, will I ever see a physician?
APs in the program work alongside experienced physicians.  If they determine that your medical condition requires you to see a primary or specialty care physician, they will refer you.  At times, you may also be visited in the exam room by a supervising physician.

Will I always see the same AP in the APC Collaborative?
We will try whenever possible to schedule you with the same AP when you need care; however you may see multiple members on the team.
