If you are a new physican to the Medical Society we have great news! You can now participate in our Group Health Plan.
In 1981, over 50 local physicians banded together to create a Physicians’ Security and Benefit plan. The primary goals were:
- Provide affordable health insurance to employees, physicians and their families
- Upon the death of a physician, provide insurance for the spouse and children of the physician
- Use each others’ premium dollars to pay claims for those physicians and their family members who had serious medical conditions
- To provide a premium-rating schedule that did not discriminate against those physicians and their employees who had incurred large medical claims
- Avoid implementing “gatekeeper” type “managed care” features
- Promote access to virtually all providers in and out of the state
- Establish a stable alternative to those carriers who often abandon the insurance marketplace
