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.
Next: Client Intake

ACMS - Qualified Members Include
  • All licensed members of ACMS, including physicians (MD/DO), physician assistants (PA), nurse practitioners, and medical residents.
    • This includes about 20 members who practice in Canyon County or other counties West/North of Ada County to the Oregon border and up to New Meadows if they have paid "secondary society" membership dues. (Mainly Full Circle Health medical residents).
  • Retired ACMS members (who may dwell in or outside of Ada County).
  • Currently, ACMS Member medical students are not qualified for PVP.
  • Five (5) appointment hours are available per 12-month benefit period.

If a new client insists they are a member of ACMS or IAFP, but can't be verified this route, please see them and establish them and contact the ACMS office to find out what is happening before the next appointment. There may be alternate ways to verify this while maintaining their confidentiality, and their membership may have lapsed or they may be confused about membership coverage.

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.
