1. Membership Verification

ACMS provides the PVP services for its own members and other medical societies under contract.  When a physician or other qualified member calls you for an appointment, please also ask under what membership organization they are seeking their covered services under to confirm their eligibility below. Start with the organization through which they learned about the program since they may have overlapping coverage and the referring organization should be the one billed under.

You may not combine overlapping membership eligibility and stack the covered number of appointments together. Please bill the medical association/society based on how the member heard about the program, even if there is overlapping membership coverage.

• You may not combine their dual eligibility and stack the covered number of appointments together.
