IHN continues to support our private practice in ways we couldn’t achieve on our own. Being a part of this larger entity helps us remain connected and up to date in the rapidly evolving world of private practice medicine.
We chose IHN because we wanted to join a network of like-minded independent physicians. We are so delighted and honored to join this great community.
As a member of Integrity Health Network, Central Minnesota Dermatology enjoys the benefits of being part of a network of primary care and specialty clinics—while still maintaining the advantages of remaining an independent practice. In addition to payer contracting and GPO access, we receive valuable information such as payer updates and governmental requirements that we might not be aware of as a small clinic with limited staffing. Members also benefit greatly from the ability to connect with other clinics in the network as a resource for issues, concerns, and ideas. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience available to member clinics, shared from the perspective of others who are also navigating the world of independent medicine.
Our decision to join Integrity Health Network (IHN) was made so we could collaborate with other private practice specialists in the Northland. We face contracting, credentialing, marketing, and staffing challenges differently than large organizations. These are unique challenges that only small, private healthcare providers in rural communities can truly identify with. IHN has given us the opportunity to meet regularly, share information, and learn from a larger group. We also benefit from the IHN leadership team, who research and present information that is directly applicable to us and our practice.

We have worked with Craig at IHN for à la carte services. The results were tremendous and sparked our interest in joining the IHN network for general advice, credentialing, and contract negotiations. We have also seen the benefits of VBAs for getting paid more for high-quality services, and GPOs to help reduce our medical expenses.

Integrity Health Network has been integral to the success of Advocate Urgent Care, providing foundational guidance and support, mentoring, and help navigating complex compliance and regulatory nuances. Moreover, and importantly, IHN has the longstanding relationships, familiarity, and expertise needed to successfully negotiate payor contracts for independent rural and outstate clinics such as our own. We are most appreciative of the team at IHN and know we would not have been able to do it on our own.

When Dr. Kristina Lelcu decided to start her own private practice, she had plenty of medical experience but was being challenged by the administrative side of things. We joined IHN to network with like-minded people and help each other and our practices flourish. IHN has proven itself to be a veritable treasure trove of knowledge and insight. We are very grateful to IHN for all the assistance they have provided us with over the years—everything from negotiating favorable contracts with insurance companies, to helping us choose preferred vendors, and keeping us apprised of news and updates in the healthcare community. We strongly recommend providers who are interested in starting their own practices to give IHN a call.
IHN brings a deep understanding of the healthcare industry and serves as a valuable extension of our team. While our staff remains focused on delivering exceptional patient care and operational excellence, IHN helps lighten the load by providing dedicated support for complex insurance-related matters. Their expertise and clarity make these issues more manageable and easier for all of us to navigate.
Working with IHN—specifically Alea—has made the process of credentialing our new providers so much better. Alea’s knowledge, communication, and attention to detail give us confidence that everything is on track and being closely monitored. In turn, she makes the process more efficient and helps avoid unnecessary delays. I highly recommend IHN’s credentialing services.
I chose to join IHN because, while I’m confident in my skills as a physician, I recognize that there are many challenges in opening and managing a private practice that I’m still learning to navigate. I have turned to experts in other areas like finance and marketing, so it felt only natural to turn to a group like IHN—one that is focused on helping people like me successfully open private practices. Their values align closely with my own, making it a natural fit to work together in providing excellent, patient-centered care.
Being a small clinic with a single provider, small bumps in the road can prove to be catastrophic. After hitting those bumps, it is almost impossible to course-correct without significant help from experts who know the ins and outs of the medical industry and who also have the resources to seize on opportunities once they arise. The team at IHN have played an essential role in our success through credentialling and contract negotiations, strategic planning, group purchasing opportunities, networking, price negotiations, and (most importantly of all), general counseling and advice. I’ve said it multiple times, but I wish I had found IHN before we opened our doors, it would have saved a lot of time, trouble, and serious course-corrections. I definitely look forward to what the future holds with our partnership with IHN!
This past year we had a practice assessment completed by IHN. It was a thorough process highlighting not only the areas we are excelling at and our strengths, but also those we needed a better tracking system to monitor and improve upon. It was a focus on KPI’s, business practices and data tracking. This along with some other factors ultimately prompted us to move towards a new Electronic Medical records system with enhanced reporting features.
Being a member of IHN as a clinic administrator has been invaluable. This is a team of professionals who digs into the questions and concerns that impact the needs of our independent specialty general surgery clinic, as well as other independent specialty and primary care practices. Our monthly administrator meetings are relevant, information filled, and an opportunity share knowledge and ideas. I learn something new at every meeting.
I lived in fear of going into private practice general surgery way too long. When I finally made a commitment to go into private practice, a colleague told me to call Integrity Health Network. It was the best call I ever made. They listened to my concerns and supported me every step of the way. What a wonderful experience and positive life change for me! I have been in private practice for 3 years and have not once wished that I had my previous job back. I am very proud to be an IHN member and will forever be grateful for all the help, guidance, and support they have provided me in realizing my dreams.
IHN has been instrumental to Dermatology Professionals when it comes to consulting. We could not ask for better advice that we trust. They really know what they are doing and if they don’t have an answer, they will do the extra work to find the answer we need. I know I can call or email them anytime of the day and they will get back to me right away. They go the extra mile for their clients and we appreciate it very much.
Dermatology Professionals has worked with both Teri and Alea with credentialing and they have both been irreplaceable when it comes to getting credentialing done. They are always so helpful with the process, and they respect our timelines. They really know what they are doing and help make the process a lot smoother and less stressful for our clinic. We are very thankful to have both of them helping us when we need then.

These are the best health care administrators because they listen to our needs and provide the requested assistance. I trust this team to assist with our clinics’ administrative needs because of the success we’ve enjoyed with their support.
