PLPP Board of Directors

The PLPP Board is structured to provide representation from physician owner/insureds. The Board consists of eight (8) Directors who are elected by the shareholders and serve staggered three year terms. The Board of Directors has full authority over the Company and the CEO reports directly to them.

Provider Network Development Committee

This Board Committee is responsible for evaluating MGO’s business needs as they relate to development of the physician network. The Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to which applicant physicians meet a business need for participation in the network. Successful applicants then advance to the Peer Review and Credentialing Committee processes.

The Committee is actively involved in developing and implementing the infrastructure that will be used to support clinically integrated quality improvement initiatives.

The Committee is responsible for assisting MGO physicians and their practices in having actionable risk management strategies which will serve as tools to enhance patient safety and quality of care while decreasing the potential risk of financial loss from both an operational and legal perspective.
