Practice Management Services

Over 10 years ago, the IPN Board of Directors undertook a strategic initiative to provide Practice Management Services. This commitment allowed IPN to grow the internal team to include experienced medical and business professionals supporting our members and physicians in the community.

Our mission is to develop, protect, and enhance independent physician practices. IPN is a physician-led organization that is focused on providing the necessary tools, resources, and expertise to maintain quality cost-efficient practices resulting in a value-driven, satisfying experience for its provider’s patients.

Practice Management Services support physicians and their staff through the many transitions that managed care has brought over the years. Independent practices have many challenges and physicians need to proactively manage their practices with the most up-to-date knowledge and tools to stay viable and competitive in the rapidly changing healthcare market.

In 2015, IPN developed a new business platform, IPN Practice Solutions. It is structured as a joint venture. The joint venture business model is designed to improve upon IPN’s success in value based contracting as well as to develop future opportunities for IPN and its physicians to partner with industry leaders while retaining local control and oversight.

Today, IPN Practice Solutions is a management organization that offers services, consulting, and resources to support the independent practice. Our team works closely with physicians to drive value-based changes, solutions, and focus on industry trends and tools.
