Committees and Regional Meetings The California Association of Physician Groups has a variety of committees and regional meetings to address the specific needs of our member groups. In addition to numerous ad hoc meetings, the following are regularly scheduled meetings which take place throughout the state:
Contracts Committee Northern California Chair: Guy Guarige, Alta Bates Medical Group Southern California Chair: Steven Linesch, Managed Care Systems Staff Coordinator: Rick Swanson The mission of the CAPG Contracts Committee is to provide education and information about managed care contracts to members through contract analysis, recommending and developing educational programs to improve contracting skills, and to provide a forum for information sharing within the law. The committee will also coordinate with other committees to suggest policy review as needed and will consult with health plans about contract innovation as requested by those plans. It is not the mission of the committee to act as an attorney rendering legal advice to CAPG members.
Disparities, Culture, and Language Committee Chair: Robert Beltran, MD, Monarch Healthcare Staff Coordinator: Wells Shoemaker, MD CAPG’s Disparities, Culture, and Language Committee seeks to use our groups’ key strength—coordinated approaches to population care—to overcome the clinical, economic, and community consequences of health disparities.
