Providing Excellent Benefits to Our Members

A Doctors Council contract contains many provisions and protections. One important part of our Doctors Council contract is benefits received through the Doctors Council Benefit Plan, Welfare Fund or Annuity Fund. These benefits are provided to eligible members and dependent family members at no cost to you and are funded through contributions made to the Plan / Fund by your Employer as stated in our Doctors Council contract.

For links to specific plan documents, click on Benefit & Welfare Funds under the Member Services tab. For a brochure on the additional benefits of being a Doctors Council Benefit Plan or Welfare Fund member, click on one of the following links. If you are unsure of whether you are part of either plan, please call our Benefit & Welfare Fund office at 212.532.7690.
