/EINPresswire.com/ -- RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 19, 2017) - Proto Script Pharmaceutical Corp. dba PSP Homecare ("PSP" or the "Company") (OTC PINK: PSCR), a durable medical equipment provider, today provided this update regarding its current business and future expansion plans with Independent Practice Associations.

Independent Practice Associations or IPAs are businesses organized and owned by a network of independent physicians for the purpose of reducing overhead and pursuing business ventures such as direct health care services contracts with employers, HMO's, and other medical insurers. IPA's range in size from small three physician networks to larger organizations of 100's of physicians. Employers, HMO's, and other managed care plans can contract with multiple IPA's to treat their members (patients) at discounted fees or on a per-member basis. 

For the independent physician, this joining of forces with other physicians in an IPA offers them a clear way to improve overall patient care, increase cooperation with insurance companies, and reduce the administrative burdens of negotiating payer contracts, all while preserving their independence. For patients, IPA's enable them to maintain a strong relationship with their primary care physician while gaining access to a larger network of collaborative health care services, such as specialty practices, imaging centers, labs, hospital systems, and numerous other benefits. 

"The unique partnership embodied in the doctor/patient relationship is still one the cornerstones of our healthcare system, and IPA's have enabled that relationship to continue despite the changing healthcare and insurance regulatory landscape," commented Michelle Rico, CEO of Proto Script Pharmaceutical Corp. "In working directly with IPA's and other private insurers across the country, PSP Homecare can gain access to an extremely large potential customer base of insured patients outside of Medicare that would benefit from a new power wheelchair or scooter, or get service and repair for their existing unit at one of our many future locations."

In addition to its current multi-year contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide products to Medicare insurance beneficiaries, PSP Homecare has also successfully obtained contracts with two IPA's to provide products to their insured patients. PSP Homecare anticipates this number will grow as the Company ramps up its marketing strategy and expands into new regions.

Michelle Rico concluded, "We are only just beginning to realize the growth potential of our unique business model. With over 600,000 IPA's and over 4,000 other private insurers in the United States, the opportunity to expand our business on a national scale is truly enormous."

Further details regarding PSP Homecare's planned business expansion and other updates will be made as additional information becomes available.
