Many participating providers have expressed an 
interest in receiving direct physician-to-physician communications on behalf of 
IBC. Based on this feedback, we are excited to announce that the IBC Network 
Medical Directors (Ronald Brooks, M.D., Steven Brown, M.D., and Dale Mandel, 
M.D.) have recently launched a new physician-to-physician email platform. 
 
This new platform will provide direct, clear, and 
succinct messaging that will assist physicians in providing quality care to our 
members. Email topics may include policy and billing changes, important 
upcoming mailings (e.g., QIPS), notifications regarding future fee schedule 
updates, details about our Quality Performance Measure score program, and more. 
In addition, emails will also include useful resources, including important IBC 
contact information, links to the NaviNet? web 
portal, and the most recent editions of Partners in Health Update. 
The Network Medical Directors will only send an 
email when there is significant information of value to IBC-participating 
physicians. The physician-to-physician emails serve to highlight recent 
mailings/postings or changes that are pertinent to our participating 
providers.
 
The process for joining the IBC Network Medical 
Directors email list is quick and easy. All participating providers are welcome 
to join, and providers can opt out at any time. We encourage you to pass this 
information along to all interested IBC-participating colleagues.

Medical Directors Physician-to-Physician Email list.
Please note: The Network Medical Directors email 
platform is intended for IBC-participating physicians. IBC maintains a broader 
email distribution list for both providers and office staff for general 
IBC-related news and announcements. Participating providers and office staff 
can sign up for this separate email list by going to the Contact Information 
page at www.ibx.com/providers. 
Note: IBC respects your privacy and will not 
make your email address available to third parties.
