The key JPA Services include the following:

• Highlight "best practices" and quality improvement activities so that all our practices can optimize their operations.



• Analyze and organize payer claim information so that practices can better understand patient panel utilization information.



• Optimize insurance payer contract reimbursement.



• Provide training and development programs for staff and providers regarding medical and management issues.



• Share regulatory and industry trend information so that members remain abreast of current issues facing the industry.



• Negotiate "upside-only" payer incentive programs for our members to encourage the attainment of practice management goals.



• Offer members voluntary, volume discount packages that leverage the JPA group size to lower the net cost of vendor services to the membership.



• Coordinate communications among member offices and identify opportunities to facilitate medical care operations.



• Communicate new procedural and newsworthy items.



• Regularly survey members to understand their practice management needs and look to identify resources to address these needs.

The JPA organization serves as a communication portal to its membership. The organization can expedite the implementation of a new program or dissemination of general information to the 135+ members.
