• Members lack capital, skills, or other resources
necessary to develop and implement the
proposed business on their own;
• The proposed venture requires a customer

of the proposed venture is so great that it is
more appropriate for the members to pursue it
collectively.

Why an IPA or Integrated Delivery System
Developed Widely by PCPs in ‘70s as Response to New HMO Legislation & Managed Care Inevitability
• Enables Participation in Larger Group without Abandonment of Individual Organizational Identities
• By Virtue of Scale & Geographic & Programmatic Scope, Offers Greater Bargaining Power in Negotiations with MCOs/Other Payers
PAGE 24
Why an IPA or Integrated Delivery System
• Allows for Scale of Investment in Common Infrastructure Needs of Members
• Provides a Vehicle to Overcome Antitrust Restrictions
• Enables Taking Financial Risk / Enjoying Rewards
• Customizable to Market Conditions
