Our Mission is Simple
We are committed to assisting independent physician practices remain independent as we firmly believe that independent practices are able to provide better access, lower costs and a higher quality of healthcare to the public.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership is CONFIDENTIAL
Our membership information is not sold, listed, posted or shared in any fashion. Your information will remain confidential unless you wish to obtain an insurance quote as our exclusive broker will negotiate with carriers on your behalf.
We feel that all practices, regardless of size, should be entitled to the favorable pricing that extremely large groups and associations receive.
The Pennsylvania Independent Physician Association (PIPA) and New Jersey Independent Physician Association (NJIPA) are associations that were formed in an effort to help practices survive and thrive in this era of buyouts and mergers.
Similar to other associations such as medical societies or the AARP, members are not bound together. Membership simply allows a physician or practice access to offers or programs designed by PIPA or NJIPA.
Relying on input from physicians, our strength in numbers will be used for purchasing leverage to develop programs beneficial to independent practices.
Our flagship program is our medical malpractice insurance. We are able to obtain favorably discounted rates for practices from state licensed, approved and reinsured carriers. This enables a practice to enjoy pricing they were not previously receiving and normally would not be able to receive on their own.
PIPA and NJIPA does not accept advertising dollars and does not profit from our programs.
Membership is free. However, some purchases through our risk purchasing group would require a $25 fee to offset mailing or shipping fees.
Our strength in numbers has proven extremely beneficial in helping reduce overhead costs for members.
