Idaho Gastroenterology Associates

What Idaho Gastroenterology Associates does

Idaho Gastroenterology Associates (IGA) is a privately-held, physician-owned gastroenterology medical practice founded in 1976 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, serving the Treasure Valley and broader Southern Idaho market. The practice employs 25 providers, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, operating across four clinical locations (Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and a newly opened Ten Mile Medical Plaza site in Meridian) with co-located endoscopy centers. IGA delivers a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic GI service line spanning colonoscopy and colorectal cancer screening, upper endoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, advanced endoscopic procedures including Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), capsule endoscopy, FibroScan liver imaging, esophageal manometry, BRAVO pH studies, sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence, hemorrhoid banding, IV infusion services, and on-demand virtual visits.

The practice monetizes through professional fee billing for office consultations and procedures across its four endoscopy centers, IV infusion services, and ancillary GI Psychology partnerships, with pricing negotiated through standard insurance contracts including Medicare. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer in a regional market, supplemented by community health events, educational content via the Gut Health Hub and YouTube, and hospital inpatient coverage arrangements across the Saint Luke's Boise, Meridian, and Nampa facilities. Patient segments span screening-age adults 45-75, chronic GI patients (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBS, liver disease), acute symptomatic patients, and underserved populations. Strategic expansion in 2025-2026 includes a digital care platform partnership with WovenX Health (March 2026), the GI Psychology gut-brain therapy partnership (November 2025), and the new Ten Mile clinic and endoscopy center, the latter restoring access at the former Saltzer Medical Group site following Saltzer's 2024 closure.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• WovenX HealthcoreTechnology or Integration · 3 March 2026Idaho Gastroenterology Associates partnered with WovenX Health to expand access to digestive care. The partnership integrates WovenX's digital care platform into clinical operations, enabling patients to quickly connect with GI-trained clinicians often in less than 30 minutes, and in many cases schedule colonoscopies without needing traditional in-person consultations first. The goal is to streamline the process for colorectal cancer screening so patients can move from initial evaluation to scheduling in minutes rather than waiting weeks.
• GI PsychologycoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 November 2025IGA partnered with GI Psychology to offer virtual, evidence-based gut-brain therapies to help patients better manage digestive symptoms. GI Psychology is a nationwide virtual behavioral health practice focused on gastrointestinal conditions through the gut-brain axis. Services include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for GI (CBT-GI) and other evidence-based approaches delivered virtually by licensed clinicians specializing in GI disorders.
• Treasure Valley Medical ResearchminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerIGA refers interested patients to Treasure Valley Medical Research for participation in clinical research studies related to gastroenterology conditions.

Direct peers

• GI Alliance: The largest US gastroenterology physician network and PE-backed platform, providing general GI, advanced endoscopy, infusion, and ancillary services through partnered practices in multiple states. Directly comparable to IGA's full-stack GI practice model but at national scale.
• United Digestive: PE-backed gastroenterology platform operating partnered clinics and endoscopy centers across the Southeast US. Operates the same integrated clinic-plus-endoscopy-center model in defined regional geographies.
• Borland Groover: Large independent gastroenterology specialty practice in Florida offering colonoscopy, advanced endoscopy (EUS/ERCP), infusion, and clinical research. Directly comparable as an independent GI group without academic affiliation.
• Digestive Health Associates of Texas: Multi-location independent GI practice in Texas offering general and advanced GI procedures including EUS, ERCP, and capsule endoscopy. Comparable as a community-anchored, multi-site GI group with similar procedure mix.
• Minnesota Gastroenterology: Independent, large multi-specialty GI practice providing comprehensive digestive care including screening colonoscopy, advanced therapeutic endoscopy, infusion, and clinical research across the Twin Cities metro. Comparable in scale and service breadth to IGA's Treasure Valley footprint.
• Connecticut GI: Single-specialty gastroenterology group practice offering standard and advanced GI procedures, screening, and infusion in multiple locations. Comparable in structure to IGA as a regional independent GI group.
• Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates: Large community-based GI group across the Atlanta metro providing screening colonoscopy, advanced therapeutic endoscopy, hepatology, and clinical research through owned endoscopy centers. Comparable in community-anchored, multi-site model.

Broad incumbents

• Gastro Health (US): Now part of GI Alliance, Gastro Health historically operated one of the largest pre-rollup GI platforms in the US with broad service mix including advanced procedures and research — a multi-state incumbent IGA resembles at a smaller scale.

Others

• GI Psychology: Nationwide virtual behavioral health practice delivering evidence-based gut-brain therapy (CBT-GI). They are listed in IGA's data as a strategic partner rather than a competitor and represent the gut-brain therapeutic layer offered alongside IGA's clinical services.
• WovenX Health: Digital care platform partner of IGA that enables rapid virtual access to GI clinicians and streamlined colonoscopy scheduling. Operates upstream of IGA as a patient acquisition and triage layer — comparable business relationship if not core product.
