Delegated Credentialing - Simplifies the credentialing process for your office - less paperwork and a faster process. The IPA subcontracts with the Lawrence General Hospital Medical Staff Office to credential our physicians instead of the payers. The IPA provides information to the payers for their physician directories. The payers and the IPA perform audits of the medical staff office policies and procedures to ensure NCQA compliance.
PHO - In partnership with the Lawrence General Hospital, the IPA formed a Physician Hospital Organization in July 2008. Currently 150 physicians strong, this will be the contracting entity for joint hospital-physician contracts. If you have not yet joined, please call the IPA office at (978) 946-8014 for more information, or email us.
