Heritage Provider Network

Heritage Provider Network (HPN) coordinates healthcare services through its network of affiliated physicians. The organization specializes in value-based care models, emphasizing integrated and member-centered approaches. HPN provides expert recognition and proactive management of medical and behavioral health needs, aiming to deliver affordable, high-quality care.

Dr. Richard Merkin, a physician, founded the predecessor to Heritage Provider Network in 1979. His foundational insight was to establish a physician-owned and operated managed care organization focused on enhancing healthcare delivery. Merkin leveraged his expertise in integrated systems to build a network, directly influencing care quality and efficiency.

Heritage Provider Network serves numerous patients seeking accessible, coordinated medical care, primarily in California. Its mission is to continually improve healthcare through its dedicated network, ensuring timely, high-quality, and affordable services. HPN aims to expand its impact as a leader in value-based healthcare, advocating for patient well-being through physician-led initiatives.
