Two Free tickets to see "Driving Miss Daisy" will be given to anyone who brings at least one non-member physician to this gathering  "Driving Miss Daisy" is scheduled for August 7th at the Asheville Community Theatre.

Where: Highland Brewing Tasting Room

A message from Dr. Frank Moretz, past president of WCMS and legislative physician advocate:

"I want to invite and encourage WCMS physicians to meet Congressman Patrick McHenry from the North Carolina 10th Congressional District that includes most of the City of Asheville and Biltmore Forest to a "meet and greet" at the Highland Brewing Tasting Room on June 2, 2014 from 5:30-7:30 pm.  This is a unique opportunity for physicians to speak with a sitting member of Congress with no strings attached.  Contributions would be appreciated but are not required.  Patrick has been a strong supporter of physicians, but he can only be so if he speaks with physicians from different practices, and he is probably tired of hearing from me.  He needs to hear from primary care physicians, specialists, solo practice, group private practice, and employed physicians as to what your concerns are.  

As an additional incentive, AllCare Clinical Associates will provide one free beverage for each attendee.  Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to see you on June 2."

Between January 1 - March 31, 2014, WCMS's 1.5 Certified Application Counselors (CACs) who were fully trained as Health Insurance Navigators, provided 'inreach' counseling to current Project Access® patients about the Health Insurance Marketplace (HIM), outreach counseling about the same to the patients of physicians throughout WNC, and counseling to the general public.

During the first three months of 2014, WCMS CACs reached out to 698 Project Access® (PA) patients who were thought to be potentially eligible for HIM. Well over 1,000 "touches" were made through mail and multiple telephone calls, while WCMS CACs conducted 150 face-to-face interviews with 111 individual Project Access® patients from our pool of 698 eligible PA patients.
