DCMS Endorsed Vendors Membership offers savings to members

by Deanna Wooten, DCMS director of membership/member services

At DCMS our business is focused on serving the physicians of Dallas County. In an effort to provide the best resources for your practice, the member services committee reviews companies interested in marketing their products/services to Dallas physicians.

The committee typically is conservative in its endorsements. Companies must present detailed background information and physician referrals for review. They must prove to the committee that by becoming endorsed, DCMS members doing business with them will receive a “member’s only” discount that exceeds that of the average consumer.

Some of the vendors DCMS endorsees are listed below.

DoctorsAutoLease, endorsed in 2002, is a division of D&M Leasing, specializes in providing medical professionals with the finest auto leasing service available anywhere.

I.C. System, endorsed since 1989, delivers effective and ethical solutions for collecting debts and improving cash flow. Since its endorsement, participating DCMS members have recovered more than $2 million.

Verizon Wireless, endorsed since 2001, provides additional discounts from 10 percent to 30 percent off published or promotional prices of its wireless services.

Two other important long-held endorsements include Texas Medical Liability Trust, which provides medical liability insurance for medical practices, and TMA Insurance Trust, which offers coverage for TMA group insurance plans or coverage from an insurance company you prefer.

As a joint member of DCMS and TMA, you also receive numerous discounts through TMA’s list of endorsed vendors. A link to these services is provided on our Web site at www.dallas-cms.org. These services include practice management consulting, credit card processing, Web site building, credit card reward programs, investment services, travel programs, and home mortgage products.
