Physician Referral Service
The MCMS offers a computerized referral service to the general public and makes thousands of referrals annually from a voluntary panel of member physicians based on specialty, geographic location, board certification, insurance plans accepted, languages spoken, etc. This is a free public service. Managed care, provider panels and group practices, a referral service may be considered by some to be obsolete. But believe it. Membership in the medical society still denotes quality to the general public. Patients still want to know, Is my doctor a member of the Monterey County Medical Society?
