physicians (cardiologists, urologists, obstetricians-
gynecologists, radiologists, and surgeons). These physicians
generally practiced in Health Services’ clinics and other
community-based settings. The physician division also provided
various ancillary and support services such as diagnostic imaging

The physician division performed the physician credentialing
function for Health Services’ hospitals and IHC’s various health
maintenance organizations (described below). All physicians who
were granted privileges to practice medicine at Health Services’
hospitals were also qualified to act as participating providers
for IHC’s health maintenance organizations.
