Clinician Ownership
USACS is founded on the principle that the best decisions, culture, and
care result when Clinicians maintain ownership of their practice. We
achieve this through our APP Alignment and Retention Plan (AARP) bonus grant offering, based on the milestone dates in the schedule below.

APP Bonus Units =
100% Vested
Available after two years of full-time practice and completion of the USACS APP Academy
APP Bonus Units cliff vest, meaning they vest all at once, so they become fully vested at your five-year anniversary.
- Distributions are made on total bonus grant value, not just vested portion.
- Current equity plan. Plan is subject to change.
- The APP Alignment and Retention Plan (AARP) created a special Bonus Unit designed to give our APPs the benefits of owning USACS equity without the normal risks, costs, tax burdens, and legal requirements. The value of your Bonus Units is equal to the growth in USACS share price during the time you own the units. As USACS grows, you benefit financially because your AARP Bonus Units grow in value.
* The number of Bonus Units awarded to you will be determined at the time of grant issuance based upon the then-current USACS share price.
