Círculo Médico de Quilmes

What Círculo Médico de Quilmes does

Círculo Médico de Quilmes (CMQ) is a private professional medical association founded on 25 October 1934 in Quilmes, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, originally under the name Colegio Médico. It holds formal legal entity status (Personería Jurídica) granted by Buenos Aires Province decree N° 376/69 in 1969 and is governed by an elected Comisión Directiva of physicians. The association is the recognized primary entity grouping physicians practicing in the Quilmes partido, with roughly 14 employees operating from its headquarters at Brandsen 309, Quilmes.

The organization's core offering centers on administrative support services for its physician members: centralized billing and authorization management through the FOL2 system (owned by FEMEBA, the provincial federation CMQ co-founded in 1942), payment settlements and liquidaciones, credentialing for obra sociales and prepagas, professional representation, electronic prescription registration, civil liability insurance coordination, and ancillary benefits via Cultura, Deportes, Científica, Gremial, and Jubilados commissions. Distribution is primarily direct-to-member through the physical headquarters, the cmq.org.ar website, email communications, and an Android mobile application.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring monthly membership dues (Cuota Social), tiered by years since graduation and member status (Adherente), most recently reset by Assembly resolution dated 24/06/2026 effective 01/07/2026 at ARS $20,000 / $26,000 / $32,000 per month. CMQ also operates as an intermediary collecting copayments (copagos) and coordinating billing flows with health insurers including IOMA, Osmeba, Avalian, and other federated obras sociales. The association co-founded FEMEBA in 1942 and retains mutual strategic alignment with the federation, which provides the FOL2 platform that is mandatory for member credentialing and billing.
