Understand your care connections.
Your practice, medical group, and health plan work together. Here’s how Virtue IPA fits in.
Three parts of your care
- Your health plan
- Defines your benefits, coverage, and provider network. Confirm your PCP assignment and participation with your plan.
- Your primary care practice
- Provides your day-to-day medical care. Contact the practice for appointments, medical questions, and care instructions.
- Your medical group
- Supports participating practices with patient information, quality support, and care management. Services depend on your plan, eligibility, and needs.
Your next step, explained
What does an IPA do?
An independent practice association supports participating medical practices. Virtue IPA helps with patient information, accurate documentation, quality improvement, and care management; your practice remains your contact for medical care.
How do I confirm my PCP assignment?
Contact your health plan to confirm Virtue IPA, your preferred primary care provider (PCP), and the office location under your coverage. Ask when a change takes effect and how it affects your specialist network. Do not assume it is active until your plan confirms it.
How do I find a practice?
Use our participating-practice directory for office details and practice websites. Confirm coverage, location-specific participation, and appointment availability with your health plan and the practice before arranging care.
Find a practiceWhom should I contact for care?
Contact your treating practice for medical questions or appointments. Virtue IPA’s general contact path is for administrative membership questions, not medical advice. In a medical emergency, call 911.
