Governing Body

UOP ACO is governed by an independent private practice physician Board of Managers.  The present UOP ACO Board was nominated and appointed as part of the organization of the Company.  The initial Board was selected as a result of their past experience with other ACO’s and because one of the prospective participants consists of a large group of primary care physicians operating under a single billing TIN, which warranted giving that TIN significant representation on the Board.   Each Board Member will serve 1 year unless re-elected by the members at the UOP ACO annual meeting.  All participating physicians (providers and suppliers) are encouraged to seek nomination and election to the Board of Managers.  The goal of UOP ACO is to encourage active participation in the governance by all participating physicians so that each ACO participant is meaningfully represented.
