Methodist Physician Alliance (MPA) is a non-profit healthcare organization formed to represent physicians credentialed with Methodist Healthcare System institutions. MPA has grown to an organization of more than 1,200 providers. The network enters into discounted fee-for-service contracts with employers and payors via the Messenger Model process.

MPA currently holds contacts with 12 managed care payors covering more than 600,000 lives. All of the payors have delegated credentialing responsiblities to MPA.

MPA has partnered with multiple vendors to give members access to benefit programs and discounts that optimize pricing through group purchasing.
