PRACTICE MANAGEMENT
Isn't it about time
you focused more on medicine,
and less on administrative hassles?
Do you enjoy reading managed
care contracts? How
about completing multiple
applications? Do you know
if you are being reimbursed correctly?
Could a physician-operated
IPA be the answer?
What do you get out of
SPA Membership?
Contracting: SPA reviews
hundreds of pages of legal terms
with the cooperation of the
health plan and presents you
with an objective summary
of the terms in a format
which is standardized.
Then, "SPA Compare"
allows you to analyze the
fees offered compared to
local Medicare and to other
commercial plans in a way that is
customized to your practice.
Operations: The contract
summary and SPA Compare may
easily be used by your collections
operation to be sure that you
are being paid properly under
the SPA Contract. SPA maintains
relationships with its contracted
health plans which help you
receive what you are entitled to

completing only one application
and allows you to keep your
credentials updated with many
payors through only one entity.
Ancillary Services: SPA has
group purchasing rates for
medical supplies, medical waste
disposal and other services for
SPA members.
This helps you
to keep your
o v e r h e a d
costs low.
Value: All of these
benefits come from a physicianrun
IPA for less than $80 per
month.
