University Physicians’ Association (UPA) serves practices throughout
Eastern Tennessee. We perform a labor intensive collection, verification,
and investigative pursuit in order to authenticate the accuracy and completeness
of the information provided. The information serves as an important foundation

practitioners.
Following regulatory requirements for credentialing and periodic re-credentialing,
UPA ensures that the quality of membership is identified and defined so
that the practice’s patients receive high-quality care. UPA members
are assured compliance by audits that are conducted internally by the
UPA compliance office and externally by federal and state regulatory agencies,
Carrier Delegated credentialing audits to follow NCQA guidelines and The
Joint Commission (TJC).
