GEORGIA SOCIETY OF INTERVENTIONAL PAIN PHYSICIANS INC

What GEORGIA SOCIETY OF INTERVENTIONAL PAIN PHYSICIANS INC does

GEORGIA SOCIETY OF INTERVENTIONAL PAIN PHYSICIANS INC (GSIPP) is a Georgia-chartered nonprofit professional medical society founded in 2005, headquartered in Norcross, Georgia. It serves interventional pain physicians practicing in Georgia — including anesthesiologists, physiatrists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic surgeons performing procedures such as spinal cord stimulation trials and implants, DRG, PNS, basivertebral nerve ablation, and SIJ stabilization — along with midlevel practitioners, nurses, and office support staff. GSIPP operates as the official Georgia state chapter of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP), representing the specialty in state-level policy and professional affairs.

The society's core offerings are organized around three pillars: (1) legislative and regulatory advocacy, including active lobbying during Georgia legislative sessions, a Political Action Committee (PAC) funded by member donations, and direct board member testimony before the state legislature; (2) continuing medical education delivered through an annual Pain Summit conference held each year since 2005 at premium Georgia venues (The Cloister at Sea Island, The Ritz-Carlton Lodge Reynolds Plantation, and The Ritz Carlton Greensboro); and (3) member services including a job board, CDC opiate guideline resources, and pain rules FAQs. GSIPP was instrumental in establishing Georgia's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and in improving the state's pain policy grade from D+ in 2006-2007 to an A as scored by the University of Wisconsin Pain and Policy Studies Group.

The business model is a nonprofit association revenue stack with three streams: (a) annual membership dues priced at $95 per year for both Active and Associate member tiers; (b) Pain Summit registration, exhibitor, and sponsorship revenue; and (c) PAC donations collected through an online portal. Day-to-day operations are run by a lean staff of 6 employees provided through an association management company (The Association Company), under the direction of an Executive Director and a physician-led Board of Directors. The current President (2025-2027) is Chris Bovinet, DO.

Others

• American Medical Association (AMA):

Direct peers

• Texas Pain Society: State-level professional society for pain physicians in Texas. Comparable to GSIPP in mission, membership model, and advocacy focus, with a larger member base due to Texas's size — useful as a scaling benchmark for GSIPP's growth trajectory.
• Spine Intervention Society (SIS): Physician society dedicated to fluoroscopically guided spine procedures. GSIPP members perform SIS-aligned procedures (epidural injections, facet interventions); directly competes for membership and meeting attendance in the same interventional pain domain.
• American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP): National parent organization of which GSIPP is the Georgia state chapter. ASIPP represents interventional pain physicians nationally and provides the structural framework, advocacy templates, and legitimacy that GSIPP operates within — directly comparable as the parent tier of the same professional society model.
• North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS): Society focused on neuromodulation procedures including spinal cord stimulation and DRG — core procedures performed by GSIPP's interventional pain physician members. Operates annual meeting and advocacy on reimbursement, directly overlapping GSIPP's specialty domain.
• American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM): Multispecialty professional society for pain medicine physicians. Comparable to GSIPP in serving interventional pain physicians, though broader in scope (includes non-interventional pain specialists) and operates at national level with CME, advocacy, and annual meeting.
• Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (FSIPP): Sister state-level ASIPP chapter serving interventional pain physicians in Florida. Same organizational model, dues structure, advocacy mission, and Pain Summit conference format as GSIPP — the closest peer in scale and operating design.

Broad incumbents

• American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R): National specialty society for physiatrists, a core physician constituency for GSIPP membership. Provides overlapping CME and advocacy for the PM&R specialty at national scale, complementing GSIPP's state-level interventional pain focus.
• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA): National society for anesthesiologists, the largest specialty base for interventional pain physicians. ASA provides overlapping CME, advocacy, and practice resources but covers the full anesthesiology specialty rather than the interventional pain focus.
• Medical Association of Georgia (MAG): Statewide medical professional association for all Georgia physicians. Overlaps GSIPP in legislative advocacy and physician membership, but operates at broader scope across all medical specialties rather than the interventional pain niche.
