Welcome to the Mississippi Valley Independent Practice Association (MVIPA) web site. This website was created to help you connect with some of the best physicians and office staff in the Southeast Iowa area.

This website provides valuable information to you, whether you are a physician looking to see if the MVIPA may be a benefit for your practice, an insurance carrier, broker, or employer. However, the majority of this website is for our own physician members and their staff. If you require more specific information, please contact us by clicking here.

The MVIPA has built a model that physicians in rural communities can join through direct membership. There are several benefits for your practice in becoming a physician member of the MVIPA. Benefits of membership include advocacy, negotiation and information for physicians and patients, along with professional development opportunities.

An independent physician organization charged with securing patients through their own association. To work with networks, employers and their employees to ensure the continued availability of local health care. In a time when many managed care networks encourage patients to leave their local community, the MVIPA is entrusted with preserving the availability of quality health care in Southeast Iowa.
