Clinical Practice Management Plan

The Clinical Practice Management Plan was established at the Stony Brook School of Medicine in the 1970s. Its formation and operation is required by the collective bargaining agreement between the State of New York and the United University Professions (UUP). UUP is the union that represents the faculty of the State University of New York. CPMP supports the eighteen clinical departments in the Stony Brook University School of Medicine. Each of these departments has a corresponding clinical practice entity through which patient care services are rendered and billed.

Over the past 25 years, CPMP programs and services have grown in response to the direction and needs of the practice entities. Some expanded services have been built on the core billing, collection and disbursement services performed by CPMP; others were intended to increase revenue, reduce cost or strengthen service delivery. Today, CPMP offers a wide range of programs and services designed to add value to the clinical faculty practices. CPMP also provides ongoing information to and coordinates a compliance program on behalf of the clinical practices. The Executive Director of CPMP is Ellen Dank Cohen.
