CMA Survey Re: University Affiliates

Please complete the Survey, if you have outstanding claims with University Affiliates.

VCMA & CMA have received numerous reports during the past few weeks, from members stating they are extremely late on payments due (60 days - 2 years in arrears) from University Affiliates.

In addition, although University Affiliates have met 4 of the 5 Department of Managed Care Solvency Benchmarks - they have not met the Timely Payment Benchmark for the past two reported quarters.

Data collected by this survey will help CMA/VCMA identify the extent of the problem, and assess how to proceed in getting payment for our members.

IF YOUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE DUE FROM UNIVERSITY AFFILIATES PAST 60 DAYS - PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY AND RETURN DIRECTLY TO CMA FAX 415/882-3390.

Also available is a CMA form letter* you may wish to use to notify University Affiliates of the status of your claims, and copy it to the Department of Managed Care.
