Membership Benefits Professionalism – we help you to stay informed about important developments and promote the doctor-patient relationship. Use the Pennsylvania Medical Society’s “Tracker” program to coordinate and report your CME activities. Help shape the future of your profession by becoming involved in our work. We will help your pr actice’s bottom line. Private practice physicians and those who are employed by practices all benefit from our work. Rely on our experienced staff and the resources which are available to members on a myriad of important matters. Have your practice administrator/office manager attend our quarterly meetings. We guarantee these programs will demonstrate value to your practice! We’re only a phone call away! ​ Advocacy on behalf of physicians an d patients Medical liability ref or m – working closely with the state medical society, a number of specialty societies, and the American Medical Association - we will continue to lead an aggressive, multi-year campaign to reduce medical liability premiums. All too often our critics complain that “nothing gets accomplished”. They seem to overlook their Mcare abatements or the changes that have occurred such as the new venue requirements and/or qualifications of expert witnesses. Managed care re form – the DCMS continues to address third-party problems in the practice of medicine. Support our efforts to have physicians receive a fair-market reimbursement from health insurance companies in our region. The Pennsylvania legislature passed some insurance company prior authorization reform late last fall, the PAMED staff and leadership will be working with the state government to develop and implement specific regulations. ​ Access to Care With the recent closure of two Chester County Hospitals, the society has been involved with many other community stakeholders to address patients’ access to care for medical and behavioral healthcare. CCMS leadership remains engaged and welcomes input and support from our members. The societies also strongly support continued access to comprehensive women’s health services. Maintenance of Certification Physicians are committed to lifelong learning, many say Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is time-consuming, expensive, and irrelevant. MOC reform would help ensure that the process is fair and meaningful. Delegates from across Pennsylvania have participated in debates on discussions and helped the PAMED leadership to support efforts to Improve MOC and prohibit MOC as a condition of licensure, insurer credentialing, reimbursement, or hospital admitting privileges. Restrictive Covenants (non-compete clauses) As noted in the wint er edition of Chester County Medicine, the Federal Trade Commission has recently released its recommendation calling for the banning of non-compete clauses. Stay tuned for updates on this important matter with specifics on how it will affect physicians! Scope of Practice The CCMS and PAMED strongly believe that physicians, given their extensive education and training, should lead the health care team. We support a physician-led, team-based approach to health care and oppose the independent practice of CRNPS. ​ ​ Join PAMED & DCMS Call (610) 892-7750 Email DelawareCountyMedicalSociety@gmail.com Follow

Professionalism, Practice Management & Public Health Advocacy The Delaware County Medical Society (DCMS) is a professional organization for physician members (medical and osteopathic doctors), affiliated with the Pennsylvania Medical Society (PAMED) and the American Medical Association . ​ Founded in 1850 , and later incorporated as a non-profit organization, the DCMS is an active grassroots organization for physicians. Our members either live or practice in Delaware County, PA and are of all medical and surgical specialties. They are also in a wide variety of practice modalities, including employed physicians, private practice physicians, and also those in administrative, research, and academic positions. ​ The society strives to help our physician and practice administrator/manager members, providing day-to-day assistance with the “business” of running a medical practice, as well as helping their patients with access to a wide range of resources in our community. Much of this advice and assistance is provided in conjunction with the outstanding professional staff of the Pennsylvania Medical Society or through referrals to reputable resources within our community. ​ The society is always looking for more members to become involved in our ongoing work and offers leadership development in the process. We encourage members to attend meetings of the Board of Directors and the active DCMS committees, including the Public Health Advocacy Committee; the Practice Management Committee; the Political Advocacy Committee and the new Information and Technology Committee. Please contact our staff for more information. ​ Another important priority has become advocacy for physicians and the needs of their patients with elected state and national officials and with the staff of various regulatory agencies and third-party entities. The society’s longstanding commitment to the community continues. Physicians and their practice administrators are eligible to become DCMS members.
