DCIPA to Turn ATRIO Shares Over to Their Joint Venture with Mercy: Architrave

In January of this year, DCIPA, LLC (a for profit private company owned by your local doctors) announced its joint venture with Mercy Medical Center (a non-profit Catholic Health Initiative charity).  As part of this joint venture, DCIPA offered to bring to the partnership their share of ownership in the Medicare Advantage Plan, ATRIO.  Because ATRIO is regulated by the state Insurance Division, they must hold a public hearing to decide if this acquistion complies with applicable laws and is in the best interest of the community. 

This hearing is going to be held this coming Monday, April 22, 2013 from 11 am to 12 pm at Mercy Medical Center.  Information about the meeting, as well as links to the Insurance Division website where you can read the proposal submitted by DCIPA and Mercy regarding this acquisiton is set out below. 

If you are interested in the quality of heath care in our community, you should attend, even if you don't have Medicare or ATRIO because there are implications in this partnership that will impact every heatlh care consumer in our community.
