IPG's Mission:
IPG provides market based medical implant solutions that deliver tangible value to payors, manufacturers, providers and patients.
Our Implantable Device Management™ offerings improve quality, affordability and patient access to life saving and life enhancing medical device therapies.
In 2002, IPG recognized the growing challenges faced by providers, facilities, manufacturers and payors in the efficient management and delivery of innovative, life-saving and life-enhancing implantable devices.
Initially, IPG’s services were focused on helping providers manage the risks inherent with high-cost implantable devices, but we envisioned offering the most comprehensive level of services within the industry. Implantable Device ManagementSM (IDM) was developed to leverage our extensive experience with implantable devices to the benefit of all of the primary stakeholders in the supply chain.
Due to double-digit growth in utilization across the entire spectrum of implantable devices and the difficulty that exists in isolating and/or managing their costs, all stakeholders – providers, payers and manufacturers – are struggling with their own elements of how best to manage growing problems that stem from this burgeoning industry. Given our depth, experience and focus in this specific industry, IPG provides the perspective and the necessary tools to manage the full continuum of high-cost implantable devices.
Today, IPG is working with top national and regional commercial payers, as well as various manufacturers in the cardiovascular, neurological and orthopedic spaces to implement the IDM programs. As IPG integrates our proprietary systems infrastructure, including INSIGHT Device Management System and the RECLAIM system, coupled with our experience and dedication to service at the highest possible level, we are confident we will emerge as the preeminent provider of Implantable Device Management services in the country, providing exceptional value to our clients and the best industry experience available.
The industry has welcomed IPG’s expertise in providing data-driven analysis and management tools for implantable devices. IPG has more than doubled in size each year since our inception. Early in 2007, IPG underwent a recapitalization resulting in a new strategic resource; Fulcrum Venture Partners – a Southeast based private equity group with decades of experience in healthcare, finance and business operations/expansion.
Payors, manufacturers, physicians and facilities have embraced IPG’s experience and vision for implantable device management. We continue to bring on talented resources to further expand our breadth of services in device management offerings.
