hospital expanded, local doctors decided to do something about the system -- a system that left doctors underpaidd many patients underserved. under the leadership of dr. ed ellinwood, a general practitioner, they created a local health plan to pay the bills. at the same time, the doctors formed a group of their own, an independent practice association, or ipa. and they hit on a simple, but ingenious solution to the basic problem -- they pooled the money from all the different payers, and agreed on one set fee for each procedure, whether the patient was rich or poor. so under your system, a doctor got paid the same amount for the same procedure regardless of which system the patient was in? correct. and by blending the funds from the different sources -- commercial, medicaid, and medicare -- we were able to balance that out. and that allowed the doctors to do what they wanted to do, which was see the medicaid patient. they got some reimbursement without very much hassle, and that met that immediate need. the medicaid patient in this community can not only see a doctor, the medicaid patient can see
