CMS 2019 Presidential Celebration & Gala: September 14
New Format and Activities! The Colorado Medical Society is pleased to celebrate the inauguration of incoming CMS President David S. Markenson, MD, MBA. Mark your calendar to join your colleagues on Saturday, September 14 for an engaging day of exploration and education at the highly celebrated Denver Museum of Nature & Science - a delight to people of all ages that ignites passion for understanding and protecting our natural world through fascinating exhibits and interactive displays. The museum will be open to CMS members and their guests during normal daytime operating hours, with special evening access to the Gems and Minerals exhibit during the Inaugural Gala. COPIC programming in the afternoon will be geared toward the latest knowledge needs for members in all stages of their careers, from medical students and early-career physicians to late-career physicians and emeritus members. The event will culminate with the semi-formal Inaugural Gala, featuring dinner, music, dancing and the swearing in of 2019-2020 CMS President Markenson. A modest ticket fee will be charged. Supervised child care will be provided throughout the event through the CMS Children's Activity Center. Discounted hotel pricing will be available. Registration will open soon.

"Know Your Legal Rights"
Physicians have rights under Colorado law when it comes to dealing with health insurance plans. Information on many of these laws is available to CMS members in the online database "
Know Your Legal Rights." The Colorado statutes and regulations contained in this compendium apply to individuals whose coverage is through a fully insured health plan.
Did you know there is an easy way to determine whether or not the Colorado law applies for your patient's health insurance? C.R.S. 10-16-135 was enacted requiring standardization of health benefit plan ID cards. Part of that legislation requires that the designation "CO-DOI" must be placed on the card in a clear and conspicuous manner for any and all plans regulated in whole or in part by the Colorado Division of Insurance. (This is usually in the bottom left-hand corner of the ID card.)
This is just one example of what is available to ADEMS / CMS members in the
Know your Legal Rights database. Be sure to take advantage of this valuable member benefit.
