WORKING TOGETHER
USAP & Physician Groups
USAP enables our physician partners to focus on doing what they do best — provide the highest quality anesthesia care and patient experience.
Physician-owned. Single-specialty.
USAP is a national company, owned and clinically governed by practicing anesthesiologists.
Our approach to governance keeps our physician partners at the helm of their practice while giving them the tools and support to thrive. Joining USAP offers premier practices access to an advanced recruiting network, analytical tools, RCM and IT infrastructure, managed care expertise, and a national network that fosters clinical collaboration and innovation.
USAP physician partners are part of a national single-specialty network enjoying the best of both worlds:
Clinical Autonomy
We want you to continue being the same successful anesthesiology group that you always were. That’s why our clinical governance structure keeps local clinical decision-making and clinical operations in your hands.
Expert Business Leadership and Support
USAP supports our local practices with the full spectrum of resources and infrastructure needed to make your lives easier and position you for a more secure future.
USAP services span the full range of clinical anesthesia care. 97% of USAP anesthesiologists are Board Certified or Board Eligible and more than half are fellowship trained in sub-specialties including Pediatrics, Trauma, Cardiac, Transplant, Obstetric, Neuro, Regional, Ambulatory, Pain, and Critical Care.
After joining USAP, we felt a real sense of reassurance knowing experts were managing billing, RCM, and the business side of the practice allowing us to focus fully on patient care.
