Tri-StateDOCS Independent Physicians Association was originally founded in 1987 and was formerly known as Tri-State Independent Physicians Association (IPA).
Since 1987 the Tri-StateDOCS physician membership has increased from 68 physician members to over 100 physician members and 50 affiliate members. The Tri-StateDOCS network provides healthcare to residents in 29 tristate communities located throughout, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Offering an array of services ranging from primary care services to surgical specialties the Tri-StateDOCS physician members and their clinics are here to serve patients and provide them with quality healthcare. Each physician and affiliate member of the Tri-StateDOCS has access to the same insurance contracts allowing patients to be referred within the independent physician network in their area.
