Beginning in late spring 2019, The College Music Society, in response to a poll of its members and support by the CMS Board of Directors, will join in partnership with the Small Association Leadership Alliance (SALA) to provide a new medical option for our members. The program, which we call the “CMS-SALA Health Plan,” is a comprehensive and cost-effective alternative to traditional plans. The CMS-SALA Health Plan offers affordable, high-quality, accessible, and effective healthcare options for CMS members – at every membership level. While not health insurance, the program provides 100% coverage for preventative care, options for co-payment features with 100% coverage, and addresses unforeseen medical expenses, such as illness and injury.
