Idaho Physicians Network, (IPN) was incorporated in 1993 by Boise-area physicians who came together to contract with insurers. In December 1998, Primary Health, Inc. and IPN merged their physician networks to create the largest multi-specialty clinics in Idaho employing ninety-six physicians working in seventeen sites throughout southwest Idaho. In addition to the clinics Primary Health also contracted with over 235 physicians to make up its physician referral network for its own managed care insurance plan, (Primary Health Network) and for its 40,000 members who leased the network.

In early 2000, the decision was made to create a state wide medical delivery network consisting of physicians, ancillary providers, and facilities to better serve the needs of Primary Health Network members and members of its leased network. Today, IPN has become the fastest growing health care delivery system in the state of Idaho. IPN is owned sixty percent by Primary Health, Inc. and forty percent by independent physician share holders.

Providers contracting with IPN can expect excellent customer service, a simplified contracting and credentialing process, and extensive training through office education meetings, newsletters, email bulletins and provider workshops. Using one contract, providers are able to have access to over 70 national payors, third-party administrators, as well as local and state insurers. Payors who choose IPN as their network for their Idaho members can expect a stringent credentialing program, quality physicians, flexible contract and claims re-pricing terms, and an extensive state-wide network.
