Northwest Physicians Network

Northwest Physicians Network (NPN) is a prominent Independent Physician Association (IPA) based in the Pacific Northwest, primarily serving the Washington state region. The organization operates as a network of independent primary care and specialty physicians, providing them with the infrastructure and administrative support necessary to deliver coordinated, value-based healthcare. NPN focuses on population health management and quality-of-care initiatives to improve patient outcomes across its diverse provider base. Originally founded in 1995, the company was acquired by DaVita HealthCare Partners in 2016 and later became part of Optum, a division of UnitedHealth Group, in 2019. As part of the Optum Washington family, NPN continues to facilitate managed care contracts and clinical integration for independent practices.
