Join NCSEPS Now!
The NCSEPS provides a range of services and support for ophthalmologists in North Carolina: educational, economic, political/legislative and social. Our efforts in the area of third party payor issues and legislative initiatives have worked to successfully represent our concerns regarding the issue of quality medical and surgical eye care in North Carolina. In addition, the Society offers a number of opportunities for active participation.
The most important reason to join is so that we can stand together. As you are aware, the federal and state bureaucracies constantly intrude upon our daily practice. It is here that we have a chance to influence these decisions. While there are still things beyond our control, we have had, and must continue to have, a positive influence on decisions affecting the practice of Ophthalmology.
Only together can we, as a profession, begin to meet the uncertain future. Only together as a state society can we continue to fight for quality eye care in North Carolina. Now is the time to join the North Carolina Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons!
NCSEPS membership is open to all licensed ophthalmologists in North Carolina. Click here to join now online. |  |
