The North Carolina Medical Society works on your behalf to advocate for members in several priority areas, and to provide members with the tools they will need to succeed in this changing health care environment.
Legislative Issues
The NCMS employs a team of lobbyists and legislative experts to closely monitor and to respond to legislative developments that will impact the profession of medicine and the care of patients.
Health Policy
Throughout its history, the North Carolina Medical Society has shaped a wide range of health policies to improve and protect patient care.
Healthcare Takes a Team
In order to provide North Carolina patients with the highest quality of care and meaningful access to their clinician of choice, the best solution is for health care professionals to work together under the leadership and supervision of trained physicians. Learn more about the advocacy work the NCMS is doing to protect patients and promote team-based care.
Payer Relations
The NCMS works closely with payers and practices to facilitate solution-based pathways that will improve the practice of medicine, reduce administrative burden, and strengthen relationships for better care delivery. We take feedback from practices regarding reimbursement or system issues, look for trends, and then reach out to payers to help find solutions.
