"The Highland Healthcare Associates IPA helped me a lot."
When Dr. Johnson (name changed) came to me, he was getting ready to open his own private practice.
I expected we'd start from scratch. Instead, he already had so many resources in place. How? The Highland IPA.
Nancy Fainzin Sachetti, Executive Director at Highland Healthcare Associates IPA, had already helped him get set up.
Thanks to an introduction from Stefan Zelich of Focus Healthcare Realty, I've had the pleasure of getting to know Nancy and her team.
Last week, Highland IPA sponsored a Business Support Program launch, and I was invited to give two presentations alongside Jeff Gross of Physician Growth Advisors, who helps physicians start, grow, and transition practices.
What I love about Highland IPA is their mission: keeping private practices independent and thriving.
In addition to offering payer contracts through a network affiliation, they support their members with provider-payer relations, payer enrollment, a variety of business support programs that offer special pricing, value-added services, and more.
But mostly, they are real champions for private practice.
So many doctors are starting their own practices now. It's never been easier to start a business. Keeping it running is another story.
So, if you're a P*P in Massachusetts, consider Highland IPA to help set you up for success from the start. You'll have a real community behind you.
