UPA is Wholly Owned by Its Membership
Every member has the opportunity to be an owner, but UPA recognizes that the first members to join play a special role in building the company. These are the UPA "Founding Members," and they deserve to be rewarded as the company grows - the earlier your membership, the greater your reward with the company's success.
The First 200 Members
The first 200 members who elect the Equity Option are the UPA "Founding Members." When UPA reaches 200 Founding Members, 49% of the company will be alloted to those members based on the number of monthly administrative fee payments each member has paid. The longer a member has been with the company, the more equity options a member will receive. With each option, each Founding Member will be entitled to purchase a share of UPA for $1. As an incentive to encourage physicians to join UPA now, not only will physicians who join early earn a greater number of options by virtue of their longevity with the company, the options of those physicians who contribute during the early years of UPA's development will be weighted more heavily than those of physicians who join in later years.
