DID YOU KNOW?

ACEP candidates joining the FCEP chapter automatically become members of the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association of Florida (EMRAF), which provides more member-benefits.

Group Billing

ACEP offers physician groups, hospitals and academic centers the convenience of group billing, which allows your group to pay for ACEP membership dues with one payment instead of processing individual payments or reimbursements. Plus, if all emergency physicians in your group are ACEP members, you may qualify as a 100% Club Member, which comes with additional ACEP perks.
