Contracting Committee
The Contracting Committee has the responsibility for negotiating contracts related to Aspen. These may include contracting with PCP-led Accountable Care Organizations, Commercial Managed Care Organizations, Employers and Health Insurance Brokers. These contracts will not include the negotiation of fee-for-service rates, as this is the responsibility of each physician group individually. The committee will conduct its activities and business recognizing Aspen operates with its groups on a non-exclusive basis.
The committee will also be mindful of the current status of Aspen regarding clinical integration to avoid any appearance of anti-competitive activities. The committee will coordinate and cooperate with the Network Management Committee regarding obtaining individual group data from payors (when applicable).
​
Meeting are typically conducted as necessary and consist of a physician board member as chairman with the remainder of the committee representing a combination of interested physicians and member administrators.
