What MSNJ does

The Medical Society of New Jersey (MSNJ) is a nonprofit professional medical society founded in 1766 and self-identified as the oldest professional medical society in the United States. It represents more than 6,500 physician members across all specialties and practice settings in New Jersey, including active/private-practice physicians, medical residents, medical students, and corporate partners. The organization's stated mission is to promote public health, advance the science and art of medicine, and safeguard physician practice rights, with operational headquarters at PO Box 8909 in Trenton, New Jersey.

MSNJ's core offerings are organized around four pillars: membership services, legislative/regulatory advocacy, member benefits, and continuing medical education (CME). Membership tiers include Regular Member, Medical Resident, Medical Student, QUAD, and Corporate Partner, all managed through YourMembership association management software with social-login authentication. Advocacy is delivered through the MedAC political action committee and a network of 21 affiliated county medical societies. Member-benefit products include a Physician Finder directory, Employment Contract Review (HP3) via Flynn & Watts, a Claims Assistance Program, discount programs (drug card, auto, travel), and the MultiPlan antitrust litigation participation program. CME is delivered via in-person lecture series and online archives on topics such as contract negotiations, cyber risks, cannabis guidance, and physician wellbeing.

MSNJ's revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership dues from physicians, residents, students, and corporate partners, supplemented by corporate sponsorships, donations, and MedAC PAC contributions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization operates as a private, member-governed nonprofit with no parent company, PE/VC backing, or public shareholders. Recent strategic activity has centered on the federal MultiPlan/Claritev multidistrict litigation (joined October 2025 alongside AMA), advocacy around prior authorization, step therapy, and telehealth pay-parity reform, and the launch of sub-brands such as the MSNJ Women Physicians Group, Justice Equity Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI), and MSNJ Climate Health committees.
