RCIPA
The Rochester Community Individual Practice Association (RCIPA) is a physician-run organization of approximately 3,200 physicians and allied health professionals who practice in the New York State counties of Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates. Formed in 1984, RCIPA remains dedicated to maintaining a community-wide panel of health care professionals to provide high quality, cost-effective and accessible health care for residents of the Greater Rochester Area.
RCIPA contracts with insurers and third party administrators (TPAs) on behalf of its providers. All RCIPA providers participate in RCIPA's contracts with POMCO and Nova Healthcare / Independent Health (non-HMO). Most RCIPA members also participate in the RCIPA-Aetna network through RCIPA's contract with Aetna.
The RCIPA Board of primary care and specialist physicians, along with our committees and our staff, manage the partnerships we have formed to ensure that policies, procedures and reimbursements are appropriate for our members and their patients.
Principles
physician leadership—Physicians must lead and manage health care change.
community-wide panel—Employers and patients must have access to the largest possible panel of primary care physicians, specialists, and other health professionals in our community.
social responsibility and mutual respect—We have a responsibility to ensure that all people are treated with respect and dignity, and to address the health needs of special populations.
physician-patient relationship—The physician-patient relationship must be preserved at the core of the health care delivery system.
focus on wellness and prevention—It is our responsibility to provide the education, support, and leadership necessary to move our community from an illness-based model to a wellness-based model.
