Physician contracting FAQ
Questions About Joining a Medicare Advantage IPA
These general answers help private-practice physicians prepare for a contracting conversation. Your final agreement and current network requirements control participation.
What is an Independent Physician Association?
An IPA is a network through which independent physicians can participate in managed-care contracts and coordinated clinical programs. Physicians generally retain ownership of their practices, while rights and responsibilities are governed by the participation agreement.
Does MD Senior Care consider PCP and specialist inquiries?
We review inquiries based on credentialing, geography, current network need, applicable plan participation, and agreement requirements.
How are detailed agreement terms reviewed?
Detailed agreement terms are discussed directly with qualified practices during contracting. Only a fully executed written agreement creates binding obligations.
What does the participation review cover?
The review may cover current network needs, plan availability, credentialing, provider responsibilities, authorization and claims workflows, reporting, care coordination, and implementation requirements.
Can I remain in private practice?
The IPA model is intended for independently operated practices. The final agreement defines participation requirements, delegated duties, network rules, and any restrictions, so review those terms carefully before signing.
What documents are usually needed for credentialing?
Requirements vary, but physicians may be asked for a current California license, NPI, CAQH profile, W-9, malpractice coverage, work history, board information, hospital affiliations, and other plan-required documentation.
Which Medicare Advantage plans and service areas are available?
Availability changes by county, product, network need, and effective date. Contact our contracting team for the current list of plan and service-area opportunities before making a decision.
How long does contracting and credentialing take?
Timing varies based on application completeness, primary-source verification, health-plan requirements, committee review, network need, and the requested effective date. Our team can explain the current process after reviewing your practice profile.
