Medical Society of the State of New York

What Medical Society of the State of New York does

The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY), founded in 1807 and headquartered in Albany, New York, is a non-profit professional membership organization representing approximately 20,000 licensed physicians, medical residents, and medical students across New York State. It functions as a statewide physician trade body, delivering advocacy at the state legislature, peer governance through a House of Delegates, a Continuing Medical Education program with 60+ accredited courses, and operational support services including payment/practice assistance and legislative grassroots tooling. The organization operates through three core subsidiaries: the MSSNY Foundation (charitable arm for physician well-being and education), MSSNYPAC (state political action committee), and the Committee for Physician Health (CPH, a confidential, non-disciplinary physician health program established in 1974).

MSSNY's product surface is built on a standard association technology stack rather than proprietary technology: an iMISCloud member portal (mymssny.mssny.org), Buzzsprout for podcast distribution, Quorum.us for legislative engagement, and BulletinHealthcare for a curated daily email briefing relaunched in May 2026. It runs an extensive Business Solution Partner Program spanning malpractice insurance (10% MLMIC discount), legal services, wealth management, student lending, payment processing, EMR/practice management, and consumer perks across 15+ vendors.

The business model is membership-dues-driven, with tiered annual subscriptions (Active Physicians $460, Part-Time $230, Residents $25, Medical Students $0, Post Medical Graduate $46) supplemented by foundation donations (Founders Circle through Supporter tiers), MSSNYPAC contributions, CME fees, advertising, and partner-program economics. Member acquisition flows through 50+ county medical societies, NY medical and osteopathic schools, and residency programs, while retention is anchored by advocacy wins (2022 telehealth payment parity, 2023–2024 prompt-payment recoveries exceeding $200M), the CPH confidential assistance program, and exclusive partner discounts.
