The CRS Program offers a wide array of
specialty medical services to qualified children. CRS employs and
contracts with several medical specialties to meet the ever-growing
medical need.
Physician and dental
providers
The majority of physician subspecialty and dental service providers
are contracted with CRS through the Children's Rehabilitative
Services Independent Physicians Association (IPA). Physicians'
wishing to treat CRS patients must be board certified or at least
board eligible in their area of specialty. Physician and dentists
invited to treat CRS patients must be credentialed with CRS and
have privileges at least one of the CRS covered hospitals. Once
complete, most physicians join the more than six hundred
subspecialty physicians and dentists as a member of the
IPA.
The IPA represents all subspecialties and negotiates a single
provider service contract with CRS for all medical, surgical and
dental services. Payments for services are made to individual
physicians or physician practices. Questions about rates and IPA
representation can be made to the IPA at 602-xxx-xxxx.
