Medical Society of Northern Virginia

What Medical Society of Northern Virginia does

The Medical Society of Northern Virginia (MSNVA) is a not-for-profit professional medical association serving physicians across Northern Virginia, including Fairfax County, Alexandria, and Loudoun County. Founded in 1884 as the Fairfax County Medical Society, MSNVA was formally established in 2002 through the merger of the Fairfax County and Alexandria Medical Societies and expanded again in 2012 with the merger of the Loudoun County Medical Society; it has operated continuously for 141 years. The association is incorporated in Virginia with offices in Tysons Corner and Falls Church, staffed by approximately 10-15 full-time employees plus interns, and is governed by a board of physicians led by 2024-2026 President Alvaro Puig, MD and Executive Director Claudia Téllez.

MSNVA's core offerings center on advocacy (representation on COPN deregulation, scope of practice, Medicaid fees, medical malpractice caps, and related legislation at local, state, and federal levels), continuing medical education and networking events (monthly CME programs, advocacy meetings with legislators, and member mixers at fine dining venues), a Find-a-Doctor physician referral directory, and a vetted business services marketplace covering accounting, banking, billing/revenue cycle management, insurance (malpractice, health, dental, vision), healthcare IT, legal, home care, lab diagnostics, and real estate. A 501(c)(3) affiliate, the MSNVA Foundation, runs Project Access of Northern Virginia (pro-bono specialty care for low-income uninsured patients), physician wellness programming, medical student scholarships, and the Social Drivers of Health initiative. Member benefits also include a Medical Professional Liability Risk Purchasing Group (partnership with Curi since 2007) offering up to 20% membership discounts plus up to 30% additional physician credits on malpractice premiums, and group-level level-funded health plans through Northwestern Mutual / UnitedHealthcare.

The business model combines membership dues (recurring subscription, pricing not publicly disclosed), Foundation donations and grants (Champion $5,000 / Partner $2,5,00 / Friend $1,500 tiers), and marketplace partner commissions. Primary customers are independent and employed physicians of all specialties practicing in Northern Virginia, with secondary segments including medical residents, healthcare administration students (via a George Mason University internship pipeline), and low-income uninsured patients served through Project Access. The association does not operate proprietary technology products; its core "platform" is the marketplace, events programming, and member services delivered through its website (msnva.org), email newsletter, and social channels.
