Is Dr. Mehmet Oz listed as an officer or director of Apex Force?
Executive summary
Available reporting and public records in the provided sources do not list Dr. Mehmet Oz as an officer or director of any company called “Apex Force.” The materials show Dr. Oz serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) since early April 2025 (confirmed 53–45 by the Senate) and include biographical profiles, but none of the documents mention Apex Force or list him as an officer or director of that organization [1] [2].
1. What the record about Dr. Mehmet Oz shows
Public profiles and government pages in the provided set identify Dr. Mehmet Oz as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), with confirmation by the U.S. Senate on April 3, 2025 and subsequent service in that role [1] [2]. Encyclopedic and news sources in the list—Encyclopaedia Britannica and Reuters—describe his career path from surgeon and TV personality to federal administrator, and detail his confirmation vote and agency responsibilities [3] [1].
2. No mention of “Apex Force” in those sources
None of the supplied sources mention “Apex Force,” list Dr. Oz as an officer or director of that name, or connect him to a corporate board or officer role at an entity called Apex Force. The available URLs and snippets include an Apex Defense conference site (Apex Defense / Apex 2025) and unrelated items such as Apex Legends esports coverage, but those references do not link Dr. Oz to a corporate officer or director position at Apex Force [4] [5] [6].
3. How the supplied “Apex” materials differ from the query
The materials that contain “Apex” in their titles are an event site for a defense conference (Apex Defense / APEX 2025) and an esports wiki for the video game Apex Legends—neither is a corporate registry or an obvious match for “Apex Force,” and neither source connects Dr. Oz to leadership there [4] [5] [6]. Because these are event and gaming pages, they are unlikely to serve as authoritative proof of corporate officer listings.
4. What would count as a reliable confirmation
To establish whether someone is an officer or director of a private company, authoritative sources typically include corporate filings (state business registries), SEC filings for public companies, company press releases or official “leadership” pages, or contemporary investigative reporting that quotes such documents. None of the provided sources contain those items linking Dr. Oz to “Apex Force.” Therefore, available sources do not show any such officer/director listing [4] [5] [2].
5. Possible reasons this question arises and alternative explanations
Questions like this often stem from confusion between similarly named organizations (e.g., “Apex Defense,” “Apex Force,” or entertainment/game brands) or from online claims that were not corroborated by primary documents. The supplied material indicates Dr. Oz’s recent federal role and media profile, which makes any concurrent corporate officer position (especially in the private sector) a matter typically disclosed during confirmation processes or reported by news outlets; the provided reporting about his confirmation and background does not mention an Apex Force role [1] [3].
6. How to verify further (next steps for confirmation)
To resolve the question definitively, consult state corporate registries where “Apex Force” might be incorporated, the company’s official website or press releases, SEC/EDGAR for public-company filings, or investigative reporting that cites primary filings. Those sources are not in the current packet; therefore, available sources do not mention any corporate officer listing for Dr. Oz at an entity named “Apex Force” (not found in current reporting) [4] [5] [2].
Limitations: This answer relies only on the sources you provided. If you can supply a specific “Apex Force” document, website, or a news link that alleges Dr. Oz is an officer or director, I will analyze that material directly and cite it.
