Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

Based on available information, Primary Care IPA (primarycareipa.com) appears to utilize the MEDENT system for their electronic health records (EHR) and patient portal. While the Primary Care IPA website's "Portal" link directs to a login page at "myproviderlink.com", which doesn't explicitly name the vendor, a significant clue comes from a search result mentioning an "August 2021 Workshop with Primary Care IPA" regarding "our EMR/EHR, Practice Management, Patient Engagement system!" from MEDENT. This strongly suggests a relationship between Primary Care IPA and MEDENT. Further supporting this connection, WNY Medical, PC, a primary care practice in the same Western New York region as Primary Care IPA, explicitly states on their website that patients can "view your Medent Portal". This indicates that "Medent Portal" is a branded patient portal used by practices in the area, likely integrated with the MEDENT EHR system. Therefore, the patient portal vendor/branding used by Primary Care IPA is likely the **MEDENT patient portal**, accessed through the URL myproviderlink.com, and the tied EHR vendor is **MEDENT**.
