What are we doing for members?  Perhaps, much more than you realize! The following list will give you a good idea of what your Medical Society is doing for you. If you are a member, make sure you're taking advantage of all the benefits that membership affords you.

'Advocating vigorously both locally and nationally for meaningful medical liability reform, including a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages and a limit on attorneys’ fees.

Aggressively lobbying District officials to ensure that medical practices are exempt from the gross receipts tax on businesses proposed to finance a baseball stadium in DC.

Identifying and distributing much-needed flu vaccine to MSDC members, who need it for their at-risk patients and practices, as part of a proactive partnership with the DC Department of Health.

Partnering with the DC Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking to ensure that health plans pay claims promptly and comply with District law governing fair business practices.

Working with AMA federation partners to secure a more permanent fix to the Medicare payment formula and ensure more fair and adequate Medicare reimbursements.

Collaborating with physicians who believe that Aetna and/or CIGNA have violated provisions of settlement agreements resulting from a nationwide class action lawsuit filed by organized medicine. MSDC is a signatory to the settlement agreements.

Advocating for ALL DC physicians regardless of specialty.

E-mailing emergency preparedness alerts to members on time-sensitive issues that impact the delivery of health care in the District.

Serving as the voice of DC physicians whether it is medical liability reform, the District's crisis of lead in the water, or any one of a number of "hot button" issues facing DC physicians, MSDC makes sure that the physician's perspective is heard and understood.

Unveiling the results of a months-long strategic planning effort, which will make MSDC more responsive, more visible, and more effective.

We won't rest on our laurels.  An ongoing strategic planning activity will continue to explore alternatives, evaluate progress, and modify strategy so that your Medical Society remains nimble and responsive to you.
