MEMBERSHIP HAS BENEFITS & VALUE

The MOA is your strongest ally and the only statewide orthopaedic organization committed to effecting positive change for the orthopaedic community and patients while delivering value to members. The MOA strives to represent the profession, your practice and your patients at the State House, in Washington, with Insurers (including Medicare) and State Regulatory agencies.

Whether you are in private practice, hospital or academic employed, we are all first and foremost orthopaedic surgeons and the MOA supports the profession and practice. The Association delivers value to its members at a low annual membership fee of $300.00 ($150.00 for first year members).

PLEASE RENEW YOUR 2024 MEMBERSHIP

We have much more work ahead to be done.  Your continued involvement and dues renewal for 2024 is critical to the Association and vital to the ongoing advocacy efforts, educational programs, and representation by MOA for the entire orthopaedic community: private practice, hospital and academic employed.   Now more than ever, your membership support is needed.
