Everyone is doing this now….healthcare companies have learned this is how you are profitable
Hospitals alone struggle to be profitable, especially in rural areas, but orgs are profitable if the patient uses all their clinics, urgent cares, surgery centers, etc for care.

Most of these orgs are not even profitable in their health plans, the plans are just a mechanism to drive the patients to receive in network care. This is often why insurance plans are cheaper if the org has its own hospitals, clinics, doctors, etc.
