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 FREE and 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.

Our Risk Purchasing Group enables small practices to enjoy the same pricing benefits normally only extended to extremely large groups.

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, our 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 is used for purchasing leverage to develop programs beneficial to independent practices. 

Our flagship program is our medical malpractice insurance risk purchasing group which uses our strength in numbers to obtain favorably discounted rates from carriers for our association.  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 do not spend money on advertising nor does it accept advertising dollars.

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.
