I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling a little 'messenger'-ed around with this question. Time to bring in the IPA to sort this out!

A) group practice without walls (GPWW)? Really? That's like saying the Meadowcreek Group is a 'practice without walls' - what does that even mean?

B) I think the messenger model is when Meadowcreek acts as an intermediary between the health plans and its physician members.

I'm going with D) Physician Practice Management (PPM) company. Meadowcreek sounds like it's managing the contracts for the physicians, which is what a PPM does.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between B) the messenger model and C) the IPA. Guess I'll have to do some more research on the differences between those two.

I think the correct answer is C) an individual practice association (IPA). Meadowcreek seems to be a collection of individual physicians and small group practices, which fits the IPA model.
