“The primary factor distinguishing CEP America from other emergency physician groups is the quality of our operations, including recruiting quality providers, establishing effective programs, and creating a positive environment to succeed.” |
Our Partnership
CEP America is a democratic physician partnership, with ownership of the Partnership and our subsidiaries distributed equitably among the practicing physicians, none of whom owns more than 0.5% of the Partnership. There are no outside owners or investors, so all income from the practice - after operational expenses and billing and malpractice costs - is fully returned to our physicians.
This Partnership structure provides an inherent incentive to meet the expectations of our client hospitals and patients. The Partnership has no debt, and all capital needs for business purposes are self-financed. Our practice management company is owned by the Partnership, which, in turn, is owned by all physician Partners. CEP America has no physician employees, as all physicians are Partners from the day they work their first clinical shift.
Local Group Autonomy
Each of our emergency medicine practices is unique, and the CEP America relationship is often transparent to the medical staff and hospital personnel. Our Partners establish a solid local presence within the community and retain the best characteristics of the most well-regarded single-site emergency physician groups in the nation's premier hospitals, but with one major difference: CEP America medical directors and clinical physicians can access a large network of management expertise and resources to support their efforts to deliver the best practices in emergency medicine.
Leaders in Emergency Medicine
CEP America includes some of the finest leaders in emergency medicine, with numerous CEP America Partners serving as chief of the medical staff at their practice locations. Our Partners have also served as President of the California Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians (CAL/ACEP), the Georgia Chapter of ACEP as well as National ACEP, and are active in EMS in the various counties we serve. All CEP America Partners are dedicated to our mission to "exceed the expectations of our patients, partners, and customers in ambulatory and emergency care."
