COMMUNICATIONS
The largest organization of physicians in Colorado, CMS champions health care issues that improve patient care, promote physician professional satisfaction and create healthier communities in Colorado.
ASAP e-news is sent twice a month to all CMS members with a digest of news important to Colorado physicians. The Livewire newsletter is sent monthly to all practice and billing contacts for CMS-member practices and contains health care policy and finance news. PolicyPulse is sent as needed, and especially during election season and the Colorado legislative session, and outlines current advocacy priorities and news updates.
