About the Academy Advantage Program
The Academy is pleased to introduce our Academy Advantage partners and their products to help support your practice, including medical liability Insurance from the largest national physician insurer (The Doctors Company), a robust patient education network for your waiting room (Eyemaginations), professional website design and online practice marketing (Officite), practice and personal financial solutions provided by a leading financial institution (Bank of America), a single-source solution for recruitment and career searches (HEALTHeCAREERS NETWORK and ENT Careers), coding resources (Ingenix), insurance solutions (National Affinity Services), 401(k) and profit sharing plan offerings (The Payroll Company and Academy Benefit Partners) and credit/debit card transaction processing (WorldPay). Your Academy has teamed with these providers to offer you products and services that are especially beneficial to your professional, business, and personal needs at exclusive members-only discount prices. Your Academy has negotiated special prices and offers that are better than offerings you would be able to get on your own. Some of these partners have even customized products or services for the Academy Advantage program.
There is power in group purchases! As part of the Academy Advantage partnership, most participating companies agree to contribute a royalty fee to the Academy that is based on the purchases of Academy members in return for access to Academy members through our marketing efforts. So you can feel good about your purchases from Academy Advantage partners - each purchase will help the Academy to accomplish its mission!
AAO-HNS members and prospective Academy Advantage program participants can obtain more information about the Academy Advantage program by contacting Peter Taylor at ptaylor@entnet.org or by phone at 1-703-535-3714.
