MSSNY’s lobby day will be held in person! It will take place at the Empire State Plaza (The Egg) in Albany from 7:45-11:00am. Physicians and their allies will hear from legislative leaders in the morning. In the afternoon, they will go to the State Capitol and Legislative Office Building for meetings with their respective legislators organized by county medical societies.
This year, we will be advocating for policies that address public health threats, remove barriers to patients accessing needed care, and reduce prior authorization and claim payment hassles. At the same time, we will voice our opposition to policies that will increase medical liability insurance costs and inappropriately expand the scope of practice for non-physicians.
Please plan to join hundreds of colleagues from around the state in Albany on March 12th!
