“With his expertise as a value-based care executive, Dr. Lipp will propel Abode Care Partners’ delivery of primary care services to more patients who will benefit from person-centered and coordinated care where they reside, through excellent clinical and operational processes,” said Mark Douglass, President, Medical Services.
Dr. Lipp served most recently as the CMO of NeuroFlow, following its acquisition of Quartet Health. In this role, he led efforts to deliver integrated behavioral health care that improved outcomes, including the development of a value-based program that provided comprehensive behavioral and primary care to patients with serious mental illness.
Previously, Dr. Lipp was the CMO of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), where he oversaw the clinical and quality components of programs impacting more than 26 million beneficiaries. His leadership shaped landmark initiatives such as ACO Reach and Kidney Care Choices.
Dr. Lipp also has held senior leadership roles at leading provider groups including ArchWell Health, ChenMed, and Healthcare Partners, where he built primary care medical groups, specialty networks, care management programs, and home-based medical groups serving high-risk seniors.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Miami, completed his Internal Medicine residency at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston, and pursued fellowships in Gastroenterology, and Quality and Patient Safety at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. He has also served as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia University and holds an MBA from Yale University.

We are excited to announce that we acquired Integrated Care Professionals (ICP) effective May 1, 2024.
ICP, with operations in Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma has served patients through nurse practitioner-led comprehensive primary care in the post-acute care setting and senior living communities for more than 10 years.
ICP joined the existing Abode Care Partners team and operates under the Abode Care Partners name.
The acquisition of ICP allows us to continue to grow our primary care footprint with high-quality medical professionals and care team members. Together, our goal is to drive superior patient-centered outcomes through comprehensive, value-based, and cost-effective care to our patients and partners throughout the country.
We look forward to the new opportunities that are a result of this acquisition, including serving more customers and helping even more people live their best life.
