Member Benefit Spotlight
- ADVANTAGE Health Solutions
- Indianapolis Medical Society is pleased to continue to offer its members a discount on group health insurance through ADVANTAGE HEALTH SOLUTIONS, a local health plan owned by local providers.

The IMS employee group composed of the combined 19 employees of IMS, the Medical Society Exchange and the IMS Foundation, will save over $200,000 over two years compared to its old Anthem BCBS premiums. Although every situation is different and there is no guarantee of savings, we hope that these actual results to date are compelling enough for you to consider taking advantage of this unique opportunity.

Since 1976, the Indianapolis Medical Society has been acknowledging one individual member for his/her outstanding contributions to our community through volunteer service. In 1982, the Community Service Award was renamed to honor Dr. Otis R. Bowen in recognition of his outstanding contributions to our profession, community and country. In keeping with the ideals exemplified by Dr. Bowen, our Otis R. Bowen Award recipients have distinguished themselves beyond the practice of medicine through volunteerism. In 1999 the Bowen Award was expanded to give recognition to physician groups for their outstanding service to the community. It really is time to tell your colleagues ... Thank you.
