Welcome to North Eastern Network IPA

North Eastern Network IPA (NEN) provides services to physicians and other healthcare provider groups. We believe that physicians need an advocate in dealing with other entities in the healthcare community. Lack of organization, time, interest, and expertise often result in physicians losing ground to insurers and hospitals in the effort to assure a fair allocation of healthcare dollars. NEN’s principal objective is to protect physicians’ financial interests in the dynamic healthcare delivery environment.
 

What is an IPA?

IPA or Independent Physicians Association consists of a panel of physicians who contract with health plans and hospitals to provide complete care to members of Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).

All HMO members must first select a Primary Care Physician (PCP), who belongs to an IPA or medical group. IPA doctors and their staff then coordinate a comprehensive health care delivery system among the medical providers within the network.
