About Us

BIPP aims to join private practice physicians, in collaboration with the Baptist Health System, into a single comprehensive care management system that is designed to improve the quality of health care services and control costs.  BIPP is different from other clinically integrated networks because physicians have played a key role in the development process and have been responsible for the development of the Clinical Integration Program.  This program allows our physicians to concentrate our efforts on improving the quality of care offered to the patients in our area.  Additionally, participating providers will be able to benefit from the national expertise and centralized approach Tenet utilizes with payer partners.
