Structure

Board of Directors The Board of Directors is composed of the Chief Executive Officers of each of the five member plans. The chairmanship of the board rotates on an annual basis among the five directors. The Board functions to set Association policy, approve its annual budget, approve any contracts the Association may enter into, and serve as the sole legal representative of the Association. The Board meets on a quarterly basis.

Administrative Committee — One representative from each member plan serves on this committee, which manages the day-to-day operations of the Association. The Administrative Committee oversees the internal affairs of the Association by serving as the executive committee of the Association’ standing committees. It also oversees the Association’s external affairs, which includes promoting any legislative positions of the Board of Directors, tracking legislative activity, public affairs, and interaction with trade associations and state agencies.

Standing Committees In addition to the Administrative Committee, there are currently twelve standing committees of the Association: Medical Directors; Health Services, Health Education, Pharmacy, Provider Services, Member Services, Management Information Systems, Claims, Finance, Human Resources, Administrative Services, and Compliance. The standing committees are the primary means of interaction to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of member plans operations. The committees meet quarterly, or as needed.
