Midwest Health Coalition ACO
Midwest Independent Physicians Practice Association – better known as MIPPA - is a collaborative of over 175 private practices extending across the state of Nebraska and Western Iowa. With over 900 providers, this association supports and strengthens physicians to act as the advocate for patients and to deliver quality health care in our communities. One way MIPPA is dedicated to improving the quality of health care for the Medicare Fee-for-Service Beneficiaries in our communities is through the formation of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) called Midwest Health Coalition.
