Preferred Integrated
Provider Access Corporation (PIPAC) is a West Virginia owned and operated
non-profit Independent Practice Association.
PIPAC was incorporated
August 1995 by a group of
Primary Care Physicians located in Monongalia and Preston counties who were
trying to survive the evolving healthcare climate in West Virginia. PIPAC
provided third party payer contracting, centralized credentialing, group
purchasing, and other combined business needs as identified by the members of
PIPAC. Quickly within the first year, physicians in surrounding counties
began to realize how much time the new wave of Managed Care was demanding from
their practice and recognized how similar services would help their office run
more efficiently. This resulted in PIPAC’s expansion into six additional WV
counties encompassing specialty care, ancillary, sub-acute, and hospital
providers. As a result of continued growth in April 1997 a separate
Management Service Organization, Regional Integrated Provider Access
Corporation (RIPAC), was formed to exclusively service members of PIPAC.
Over seventeen years later PIPAC &
RIPAC continue to have a strong presence in West Virginia’s healthcare
community with 180 members geographically covering 17 counties. Our
office is located in Morgantown WV and we continue to focus our time and
attention on service so that members can continue practicing medicine! PIPAC
gives West Virginia healthcare providers Our Time ~ Your Piece of Mind!
