Why recommend Hawaii IPA Physicians

Your employees and their families deserve to have access to the best healthcare delivery system. You want cost-effective healthcare. The Hawaii IPA ~ an organization of more than 760 independent physicians ~ adamantly agrees.

Our mission:
Physicians Helping Physicians Better Care for the People of Hawaii

How can Hawaii Independent Physicians Association doctors offer better, more user-friendly, cost-effective care?

Choices:

Hawaii IPA physicians are not part of a "panel" or specific network of doctors. Your employees may not want access to every doctor in Hawaii. They desire an open door to the best physicians, the most cost-effective care, and admission to all facilities.

Technology:
Hawaii IPA physicians' technology efforts facilitate medical information coordination between doctors. We get the patient, doctor and medical information all in the same room at the same time – at the point-of-care. This eliminates redundant testing; prescription duplication, and the use of contraindicated drugs. This saves lives, time and money.

Advocacy:
Perhaps most important: Independent physicians advocate for the patient in the complex world of health-care delivery.

Choices:
Economies-of-scale force facilities to charge more for selected procedures. Hawaii IPA doctors guide care based on quality and cost effectiveness rather than a facility’s specific arrangements.

Advocacy:
Hawaii IPA works with your insurer or your third-party administrator (TPA) to keep your employees healthy, and to get them the highest caliber, most cost-effective care when they become ill.

User Friendly:
With the Hawaii IPA, you can contract directly with physicians without the insurance company or TPA "middleman." Together, we can create aligned incentives between the employer and Hawaii IPA physicians to ensure quality care is delivered at cost-effective prices without a "managed-care middleman."

Advocacy:
Hawaii IPA engages in worksite wellness options and seminars tailored for employees and employers. Hawaii IPA takes prophylactic measures to keep your employees healthy–screening for diabetes, kidney diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease risk factors and various cancers. We can bring immunizations to your door. Workplace wellness efforts and results are communicated to individual employee's primary care physician so that a full medical picture is developed.

Streamlining processes:
The Hawaii IPA will work directly with your human resource personnel in order to ensure a "proper coverage fit" saving your resources and your employees’ time.

Advocacy:
HIPA enables you—the employer—to be on the cusp of positive health-care transformation. Health care is shifting to a more individualized approach; you're not part of the managed care herd. Hawaii IPA physicians understand and welcomes a personalized approach.
