High impact information on Independent Practice Associations

We compared the use of pediatric ambulatory medical care of 640 children who switched from a traditional Blue Cross plan to more comprehensive independent practice association plans with that of matched patients who remained with Blue Cross in one large, suburban pediatric practice in Rochester, NY [1].
SETTING: Large midwestern, independent practice association style of health plan [2].
This article reports the experience of a 15-person primary care group with two health maintenance organization/independent practice association (HMO/IPA) contracts [3].
The authors describe the formation and the academic activities of the Tufts Managed Care Institute, a collaborative venture of Tufts University School of Medicine and Tufts Health Plan, an independent-practice-association (IPA)-model health maintenance organization (HMO) [4].
The individual practice association: Part 1 [5].
