An independent practice association (or IPA) is a US term for an association of independent physicians, or other organization that contracts with independent physicians, and provides services to managed care organizations on a negotiated per capita rate, flat retainer fee, or negotiated fee-for-service basis.
In addition, our IPA network was strengthened by Physician Associates of the Greater San Gabriel Valley in Pasadena in 2008, Northridge Medical Group in the San Fernando Valley in 2009, and many other practices that chose to affiliate with HealthCare Partners as a benefit to their patients and their practices.
