Midwest Independent Physicians Practice Association

What Midwest Independent Physicians Practice Association does

Midwest Independent Physicians Practice Association (MIPPA) is an Independent Physician Association founded in 2009 and headquartered at 139 S 144th Street #540412, Omaha, Nebraska. It serves licensed independent physicians (MD/DO), advanced practice clinicians (APRNs, NPs, PAs), specialist clinicians (audiologists, chiropractors, optometrists, podiatrists, physical therapists), and practice administrators operating independently owned healthcare entities in Nebraska and Western Iowa. The organization functions as a community-led membership association rather than a technology company, with no proprietary software platform disclosed.

MIPPA's core offering is a tiered membership program: physicians pay $250/year, APRNs and specialist clinicians pay $100/year, and practice administrators receive an unlimited subscription, provided their affiliated practice has an active clinician membership. Members gain access to a curated portfolio of vetted program partners offering negotiated pricing on banking (ACCESSbank), vaccines (Atlantic Health Partners), medical billing and debt collection (Clear Healthcare Solutions), managed IT (Egis Technologies), medical and surgical supplies (Medline), payroll and group benefits (Pando), document shredding (Paper Tiger), printing (Regal Printing), and cloud-based payments (Tap-Pay Solutions). Additional benefits include monthly educational webinars, networking events (Spring/Fall Membership Meetings, Happy Hours, Quarterly Administrator Luncheons), administrative guidance, and participation in an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) value-based program.

The business model is recurring annual membership dues supplemented by ACO program revenue and event-driven community engagement. The organization operates with a lean staff of four (President Stephen H. Williams, MD; Executive Director Tammy Hennings; CFO Michael Goffinet; ACO Nurse Manager Maria Mancuso). In October 2025, MIPPA announced a strategic partnership with Bryan Health to develop the Bryan Elkhorn Campus, a 14.6-acre outpatient healthcare campus in Omaha featuring approximately 137,000 square feet of medical office buildings in Phase 1 (Spring 2027 opening) and a MIPPA-owned Urgent Care Center, representing a step from pure association services into direct healthcare facility operations.
