CAIPA MSO

What CAIPA MSO does

CAIPA MSO, LLC (Coalition of Asian-American IPA) is a New York-based, physician-owned Independent Practice Association and Management Services Organization serving the Asian-American community. The organization aggregates a network of 1,400+ private practices spanning 70+ specialties and supports 500,000+ members under capitated contracts with health plans, using PMPM reimbursement mechanics typical of value-based care arrangements.

Its operational product portfolio centers on community-aligned care delivery and population-health tooling: the CAIPA NY Mobile App and Provider Portal for member and clinician access; a Litmos-based Online Learning Center for ongoing provider education; Population Health Services and DSMES for chronic-disease management; CHAMP for community health programming; and Doctor Magazine and Health 365 radio as member/community engagement channels. The recent launch of CAIPA at Home (2026-06-01) extends the platform into in-home and community-based care.

CAIPA monetizes via capitation payments from contracted health plans, which it distributes across its provider network while retaining MSO-level administrative and risk-management economics. The organization is physician-led, with George Liu as President & CEO and a senior team spanning medical, administrative, operational, and technology leadership. It operates as an LLC, is privately held, and has raised $5.1M in disclosed funding (2018-07-20). Strategic partnerships with the Chinese American Medical Society, the Federation of Chinese Medical Societies (founded 1994-06, 3,000+ providers), the CAIPA Foundation, and Health Essential Association anchor its community and provider distribution.
