About Western Physician’s Alliance

Since 1994, Western Physicians’ Alliance (WPA) has been the leading Independent Physician Association serving both primary care and specialty physician members in Washoe County.

WPA is dedicated to representing its physician members by developing relationships with healthcare partners, creating better communication and managing insurance costs as a collective.

WPA was founded by a group of physicians with the aim of helping providers in the area. Our members benefit from reduced administrative burdens, reduced insurance costs, and credentialing services among other WPA benefits. To discuss membership for you and your practice, please contact us here.

Founded by a Group of Reno Physicians

Western Physicians’ Alliance was founded in 1994 by a group of Reno physicians.
At that time, managed health care payers were seeking more involvement from physicians in the areas of utilization management, risk contracts and other activities traditionally outside a typical physician’s practice. WPA was created to give its physician members support in key areas of their practice.
Through the power of its members, WPA is able to provide benefits such as free credentialing services, discounted EMR and billing services, as well as other administrative support services.
