Who Can Join?
Associate provider membership includes these organization types:
Group 1. Inpatient facilities: Offer patients continuous 24-hour care and admit them for extended periods. Provide comprehensive medical treatment, rehabilitation or long-term care that does not require a general acute care (GAC) hospital license.
Examples: Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals, psychiatric health facilities (PHFs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), specialized limited-service hospitals (LSHs), congregate living health facilities (CLHFs) and supportive housing.
Group 2. Outpatient/ambulatory facilities: Provide same-day diagnostic, preventive or interventional care without an overnight stay.
Examples: Primary care clinics, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), urgent care centers, imaging centers, medical groups and physician organizations.
Group 3. Other clinical continuum providers: Deliver essential nonresidential services supporting the broader health care system. Offer specialized services that fall outside of traditional inpatient or outpatient care, often operating in the community or within a laboratory setting.
Examples: Organ procurement organizations (OPOs), community blood banks, contractual service providers and agencies, and home health/hospice agencies.
