Open to Qualified Physicians in Any Specialty
United Physicians of Arizona was conceived as an inclusive group that would give physicians a voice in medicine. We are open to qualified physicians in any specialty who meet these criteria:
- You must be committed to improving the provision of healthcare to our patients.
- You must be either board-certified by your respective specialty board within 5 years of completion of training, or board-eligible within that timeframe.
- You must be interested in cooperating with fellow physicians.
The legal requirements of membership include the following:
- You must conduct 75% of your medical practice through UPA, billing under the UPA tax ID number.
- You must pay your employees under the UPA payroll service. (UPA currently uses ADP.)
- You must provide employee benefits to your employees under the UPA benefits plan. (UPA currently uses ADP.)
- For all revenue generated through UPA, you must use the UPA retirement plan (if you choose to participate).
