CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

After thirty-three years, the Capital Medical Society is modestly increasing its membership dues for Active, Associate, and Retired members to help offset rising cost increases that are impacting valuable service delivery and educational opportunities for CMS members. CMS stewards its resources well. Costs have risen significantly over thirtyyears. The services and benefits CMS provides to its members have also increased significantly through physician wellness services, expanded CMEs, and outstanding communication and PPE acquisition during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Effective July 1, 2023:

1. Active dues will increase from $425 to $450 annually.

2. 1st year membership discount will end June 30, 2023.

3. Associate dues will increase from $285 to $300 annually.

4. Residents dues will remain $25.00 annually.

5. Medical Students will remain $20 for four years.

6. Retired with meals will increase from $150 to $200 annually.

7. Retired with no meals will remain $50 annually.

In addition, we have been notified by CE Broker/Evercheck that they are phasing out their current discounted CE Broker Professional Account Program for medical societies and implementing a new software program. The net result is an annual increase from $12.00 to $25.00 a year for CMS members who are enrolled in a CE Broker Professional Account through the CMS. If physicians enroll directly through CE Broker as individuals, their cost for the CE Broker Professional Account is $39.99 annually. The free, CE Broker Basic is also available to physicians, but most share they prefer the CE Broker Professional Account. Since CMS has access to our members’ CE Broker accounts through our benefit program, we are able to assist physicians and their practice administration in answering questions about specific accounts.

We value Capital Medical Society members, and will continue to strive to provide relevant benefits to you for your commitment to Capital Medical Society membership.
