LaSalle Medical Associates

LaSalle is an Independent Practice Association (IPA) with independently contracted and employed physicians located in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. LaSalle was formed in 1996 and began with one staff-model site and less than 3,000 managed care enrollees. LaSalle has enjoyed consistent growth and support from its health plan partners over the past six years and now has six staff-model sites and in excess of 75,000 managed care enrollees assigned to its member physicians.
In cooperation with Adventist Health, in April 2002 LaSalle Medical Associates took over the East Los Angeles division of the former Southern California Health Network (SCHN). Because of the organizational structure of SCHN, many East Los Angeles providers were prohibited from joining and were unable to utilize the White Memorial Medical Center. However, these restrictions no longer exist, and providers may now take full advantage of the excellent specialty network and hospital care available through LaSalle's partnership with the White Memorial Medical Center.
LaSalle Medical Associates has contracts with the following leading health plans:

· Aetna
· Blue Cross
· Blue Shield
· Cigna
· Health Net
· Molina
· One Health
· Pacificare
· Secure Horizons
· SCAN
· Universal Care

LaSalle is committed to community based healthcare that ensures maximum availability of medical services at the highest level of quality. Through partnerships with select hospitals, LaSalle maintains a maximally efficient healthcare delivery system that, unlike with other IPAs, is geographically focused. This allows LaSalle to maintain consistent financial performance and viability which in turn secures LaSalle's relationships with its health plan and medical provider partners.
