All About the Del Mar Medical Devices Trade Association: Focused on Doctors & Biotech Execs
Del Mar Medical Devices (DMMD) is a physician-led medical trade association designed to serve both the professional and financial interests of doctors, practice owners, and healthcare executives. Structured to qualify as a tax-deductible business expense under IRC § 162, DMMD membership helps physicians lower their tax burden while gaining access to valuable services.
Membership dues are tiered based on the size of a medical office—larger practices pay more, as they typically require more comprehensive support. However, all dues are reinvested into member-facing programs, services, and events that create mutual benefit across the network.
“Joining Del Mar Medical Advisors was one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my practice and my financial future. I was able to set up a defined benefit pension plan with PBGC insurance, reduce my tax burden, and meet other physicians who are just as focused on long-term stability as I am.”
— Dr. Alicia, Internal Medicine
Leadership, Networking, and Peer Collaboration
Beyond the tax advantages, DMMD offers members a chance to become actively involved in the organization through committee roles. Committee members gain leadership experience, collaborate on policy and benefits decisions, and participate in exclusive peer strategy sessions. These roles are especially valuable for physicians interested in health policy, practice management, or expanding their professional network.
Events organized by DMMD include roundtables, regional mixers, and private briefings with healthcare, legal, and financial experts. Members consistently report increased referral opportunities and more effective practice strategies after engaging with their peers through the organization.
Defined Benefit Pensions with PBGC Guarantees
One of the most powerful advantages of DMMD membership is access to PBGC-insured defined benefit pension plans. These plans offer significantly higher annual contribution limits than typical retirement vehicles and are structured to provide guaranteed income in retirement.
Through partnerships with pension administrators, actuaries, and legal counsel, DMMD helps members structure compliant pension plans tailored to their income, practice structure, and long-term financial goals. These plans are especially attractive to doctors in their 40s and 50s looking to compress retirement savings into high-contribution years.
Concierge Support Across Legal, Tax, and Practice Management
DMMD also connects members with a trusted network of professionals in legal, accounting, and medical operations—all experienced in working with healthcare providers. Whether a member needs help forming a medical corporation, optimizing their tax strategy, or resolving partnership disputes, DMMD ensures quick and qualified referrals.
“What I love about DMMD is that it’s more than a network—it’s a support system. Whether I need legal input, tax planning, or peer insight, someone in the group or their concierge team always has the answer. It’s changed the way I think about running my medical office.”
— Dr. Raj, Pain Management
Scaled Dues, Shared Benefits
Larger practices pay more in annual dues—but they also benefit more from shared services, volume-based discounts, and multi-physician pension structures. Every dollar spent on DMMD membership is put toward programs and services that reinforce the success of members’ practices.
A Smarter Way to Practice
Del Mar Medical Devices is a platform for doctors to lower taxes, build pensions, strengthen their practices, and support each other in an increasingly complex medical landscape.
