The Independent Practice Association of New York (IPANY), the largest independent practice association in New York State representing more than 3,500 healthcare providers, has announced an exclusive strategic partnership with leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO) ExtensisHR to deliver enterprise-level HR management and employee benefits solutions to independent medical practices. Navigating the operational complexities of running a private clinic often deflects resources away from core medical services; this partnership remedies that friction by leveraging corporate economies of scale to secure premium, Fortune 500-level health insurance pricing through major regional carriers Anthem and Aetna.

In addition to enhancing benefits procurement processes, the ExtensisHR program creates an integrated administrative system that integrates key HR-related services such as payroll processing, tax management, compliance monitoring, risk management, and human capital management under a single service umbrella, which is facilitated by a specialized customer support team that focuses only on the needs of IPANY’s clients. Through such efficiencies in administrative processes and associated cost reductions, the partnership allows for small and local clinics to attract high-quality clinical staff. Highlighting how institutional-grade backend support helps independent practitioners maintain a strict focus on clinical excellence, Michael Ruiz de Somocurcio, President of IPANY, stated: “This partnership gives smaller practices access to enterprise-level benefits and HR support, easing administrative burdens so our providers can focus on caring for patients.”
