Enhancing Iowa’s Safety Net
The Iowa Primary Care Association (Iowa PCA) supports Iowa's community health centers (CHCs) and Iowa’s Behavioral Health Delivery System. With an ongoing commitment to expanding access to quality, affordable, and accessible primary and preventive healthcare services, we work to support individuals and communities in reaching their full health potential.
With our two sister companies we provide a wide range of supports and are strong partners throughout the healthcare system. IowaHealth+ is a clinically integrated network owned and managed by 11 Iowa CHCs and the Iowa PCA dedicated to providing payor agnostic and value-based care while furthering the unique mission of CHCs. INConcertCare is our health information technology organization that provides essential technology and data support to Iowa’s CHCs.

The Iowa PCA is excited to serve as the statewide Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organization (BH-ASO) to support Iowa Health and Human Services, local providers, other key stakeholders, and all Iowans to transform the delivery of behavioral health services in our state.
