Why Providers Choose KOVA
Finally, an IPA That Respects How You Practice Medicine.
KOVA Healthcare was built with local doctors who were tired of the barriers, not just for patients, but for providers. We’re physician-driven, community-rooted, and fiercely independent. Our mission is simple: make healthcare easier for the doctors who deliver it, and better for the patients who depend on it.
Locally Owned. Doctor Driven. Rooted in the Central Valley.
While other IPAs are expanding into the Central Valley from bigger cities chasing market share, KOVA was founded right here in Fresno County by people who live and work in the same communities they serve. We’re not backed by corporations or outside investors. We’re driven by one goal: doing what’s right for local patients and the physicians who care for them.
At KOVA, decisions aren’t made hundreds of miles away, they’re made by people who know the local neighborhoods, the local challenges, and the patients firsthand.
Flexible, Not Controlling. No Exclusivity
We don’t believe in tying your hands with exclusivity. Why would we want to be a disservice to your patients? Unlike other IPAs, we support your ability to work across networks because better access to specialists and services means better outcomes for your patients. KOVA helps you stay independent and patient-focused. And we’ll never try to “claim” your patients as our own.
No Red Tape, Just Real Support
From simplified referral and authorization processes to dependable capitation payments, KOVA is built to work with you, not against you. Patients Come First. Always.
At KOVA, every policy, every decision, every connection is made with patient care in mind. We remove the obstacles so you can focus on what matters most.
