since is not a time modifier here.

since here is used to serve the purpose of causation/ cause effect relationship.

since [cause],[effect]

Since [it successfully negotiated payments from insurers with a large presence in the local market],[the Minneapolis based Fairview Health system started offering digital visits last month]
