An Independent Practitioner Association (IPA) provides the link between health plans (HMO’s, etc) and providers of medical services. In general, the IPA pays the providers for services given to health plan members, identifies patients eligible for services, ensures compliance with governmental, health plan, and accrediting body guidelines, resolves complaints and a lot more.
