History

University Health Care was formed in 1986 to provide a patient base and clinical setting for the education of medical students from the Indiana University School of Medicine.

• In 1993, University Health Care filed with the state of Indiana to do business as IU Health Care. At that time, the corporation operated 10 medical facilities doing business as IU Health Care. These sites were located in Broad Ripple, Eagle Highlands, Banta Road, Post Road, Avon, North Meridian, Anderson, Frankfort, Noblesville, and Mooresville. In addition to these 10 community locations, an IU Health Care office opened at the Regenstrief Health Center on the Wishard campus.
• In early 1996, following an agreement with the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County and the Board of Trustees of Indiana University, the company formally changed its name from University Health Care, Inc. to Indiana Health Care, Inc.
• Under terms of the participation agreement enacted in early 1996, Indiana Health Care, Inc. manages and operates the primary care facilities of Wishard Health Services. These primary care facilities include eight Wishard Community Health Centers (Blackburn, Cottage Corner, Forest Manor, North Arlington, Westside, Grassy Creek, and two locations in the Primary Care Center on the Wishard Campus).
• In 1997, Indiana Health Care, Inc. formally changed its name to IU Health, Inc., doing business as IU Medical Group-Primary Care.
• In addition, IU Medical Group has contracted with various health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and insurers to provide health care services.
• Specialty and institutional care is contracted out to various groups that practice specialty care medicine within the Indiana University School of Medicine (IU Medical Group - Specialty Care).
• IU Medical Group - Primary Care also fully owns IU Health Plan, Inc., a company that holds TPA and HMO licenses in the state of Indiana.
• The company offers care targeted at commercial, Medicaid, Medicare, and indigent (Wishard Advantage) markets. IU Medical Group - Primary Care also operates as an integrated delivery system within other Central Indiana HMOs.
