ASPA MEMBERS: The ASPA Board of Directors recently approved the sale of membership stock to ASPA providers who are not shareholders. This action was taken to provide all ASPA members with an equal opportunity to share in patronage dividends. As an incentive to build our ownership base, New ASPA Owners will have their annual dues waved for 2 years for specialist and 3 years for PCP’s, plus annual dues going forward frozen at: PCP’s $300.00; Specialties $400.00; NP’s $250.00 and Other $200.00. Shares of ASPA stock are priced at their original cost of $1,000. ASPA Members can only own one share. Funds from the sale of ASPA stock will be used to support its work plan and attain goals. For more information, contact Connie at connie@azspa.com or Karen at karen@azspa.com

ASPA is proud to announce our new partner’s:

PCIHIPAA (Compliance Company): You will be able to manage your practice’s HIPAA, OSHA, and PCI compliance with ease and get it all at the lowest price special for ASPA members. The first step in getting compliant is completing your complimentary HIPAA Risk Assessment to see where you stand. Get started today and unlock other complimentary compliance resources including a special member rate for OåceSafe360, powered by PCIHIPAA. www.pcihipaa.com

SiteRx (Improved Clinical Trial Accessibility): using powerful and HIPAA secure software, SiteRx enables clinical research as a care option by automating the patient matching process associated with clinical trials. SiteRx unlocks ancillary revenue for providers without the risk of becoming a principal investigator or hiring staff. Once the provider approves a match, patient consent is captured, and the SiteRx patient experience team helps the patient register with the trial.
