CSMS-IPA Committees
The IPA maintains a robust Physician Directed Committee structure to ensure ongoing strategic review and development of IPA programs and processes.  Each committee has specific goals and objectives and reports key activities and findings to the IPA Board of Directors on a regular basis.  Additionally, the IPA, through agreements with Health Net, maintains representation on key Plan operations committees.  This representation ensures that the decisions of the IPA Board are properly communicated and implemented at the Plan level as well as providing a forum for effective input, comment, and recommendations regarding Plan policies and programs.
