Western Providers reserves the right to limit participation in the WPPO panel to specialties and number of practitioners needed to ensure an appropriate panel and to limit to practitioners willing to adhere to WPPO requirements.

  • Risk-based products – For some health plans, both employer self-funded and insured, a Western Providers panel is developed using capitation or other financing approaches that provide incentives for physicians and hospitals to manage costs
