Membership Information
Does Your Practice Have a Dispensing License?
If so, please review the updated guidance document for physicians with dispensing licenses here.
Please Help Us Spread the Word!
If a new surgeon joins your practice or relocates from out of state to your city, please invite them to join the Virginia Orthopaedic Society. Nothing works better than an invitation from a colleague. Have them contact Greg Leasure at (804) 565-6305 or at greg@societyhq.com for more information.
Group Billing Discount Available for VOS Members
Receive a 10% discount on member dues for your practice or institution by enrolling in our group billing program. The society will send one comprehensive renewal notice to include all the VOS members in your practice or institution. Have them contact Greg Leasure, Membership Manager, at VOSmembership@societyhq.com or 804-565-6305 to establish group billing for your member dues or to find out more about the 10% discount.
Thank you to our VOS Group Members:
By participating in this program, your group receives discounts on membership dues for all eligible physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in your practice. New members receive a 25% discount on their first year of membership dues, and all current members receive a 10% discount on dues. There is one comprehensive renewal notice for all members in your practice or institution requiring only one check to be issued for membership dues. There must be at least three eligible physicians, PAs or NPs in your practice for the group to qualify.
Group Billing Benefit
Your practice manager can join VOS for free as part of the group billing option.
If a physician leaves the practice and moves out of state, the VOS membership will be transferable to a new physician in the group. Any new members will immediately begin receiving benefits such as the e-newsletter, legislative updates, reduced registration fees at meetings, the online "Find a Doc" feature, and much more.
We will screen the list of physicians in your practice so that any members in your group who have already paid will not have to pay again within a cycle. It’s not too late to add your practice to the growing list and save on VOS membership dues! Please contact Greg Leasure, Membership Manager, at (804) 565-6305 or vosmembership@societyhq.com with questions or to enroll in the group billing program.
Thank you for considering membership in the Virginia Orthopaedic Society for the physicians in your practice!
