Membership

We at PSG strive to represent the best interests of the digestive disease patients and gastroenterologists of Pennsylvania.

We provide a voice for the gastroenterology community within the Pennsylvania Medical Society in a number of forums and participate in the CMS Carrier Advisory Committee with Highmark Medicare Services.

The PSG holds a two-day annual fall meeting that provides quality CME pertaining to important and relevant topics to the practicing gastroenterologist and hepatologist. Attendees are able to learn about new diagnostic and treatment options in gastroenterology, as well as become updated in pertinent practice management issues.

​

PSG offers a 30% group dues discount when 100% of the physicians from the same practice location joins or renews their annual memberships. All physicians in the group who wish to participate in the group dues discount must already be a PSG member or submit a membership application.

  • ​If your practice is interested in the group discount, please contact us at info@pasg.org​

  • Although your practice is taking advantage of the group discount, the membership belongs to the individual physician and is not transferable.
