For more than a decade, CommunityCare IPA has been the partner of choice for independent physicians and health centers serving California's most diverse patient populations.
CommunityCare IPA (CCIPA) is an independent practice association serving California's Imperial Valley, San Diego County, and the Central Valley. We bring together a network of community-based physicians, FQHCs, and specialists to deliver coordinated, culturally responsive care to managed-care members.
Founded in 2013, CCIPA combines the local knowledge of community providers with the operational infrastructure, technology, and clinical support that today's value-based care demands.
Our work centers on three commitments: removing barriers to care for the patients we serve, supporting the financial and operational health of our provider partners, and meeting the highest standards of quality measurement.
To provide community-based physicians and FQHCs with a managed, integrated care delivery system that serves their communities in an organized, efficient, compassionate, and financially responsible manner.
Beyond managed care, CCIPA invests in local programs, language access, and partnerships that strengthen access to care across our regions.
Local health initiatives and outreach in partnership with FQHCs and community organizations across Imperial, San Diego, and the Central Valley.
Bilingual care and member materials in English and Spanish — with free interpreter services at no cost to members.
Deep partnerships with federally qualified health centers that anchor primary and preventive care in underserved neighborhoods.
Quality measurement and gap-closure work focused on the populations and conditions that matter most in the communities we serve.
Whether you partner with us as a provider or rely on us for your care, here's where to start.
We handle utilization management, claims, credentialing, and quality reporting — so you can focus on patient care. One contract, eight major payers.
