The association was established in 2018 in partnership with Collaborative Health Systems, a management services organization subsidiary of Centene, and makes benefits typically more accessible to large provider networks such as improved Medicare fee-for-service rates, value-based care programs and financial incentives accessible to independent physicians and groups, according a May 28 news release from Collaborative Health Systems. It currently includes more than 150 provider groups and several health plan programs.
Practices that participate in the Chesapeake Independent Physician Association have the potential to reduce practice costs, increase practice revenue and improve patient health outcomes, according to the release.
