At their core, both MSSNY and MLMIC are focused on supporting the success of physicians and healthcare organizations throughout New York State.
MSSNY serves as a powerful advocate for the medical profession, representing physicians on legislative, regulatory, and public health issues that impact patient care and medical practice. MLMIC complements those efforts by providing industry-leading medical professional liability insurance, risk management resources, claims expertise, and physician-focused educational programs.
Together, our organizations are united by a common goal: helping physicians focus on delivering exceptional patient care while providing the resources, guidance, and protection necessary to succeed in today’s healthcare environment.
This collaborative approach has allowed us to create meaningful value for physicians at every stage of their careers, from newly licensed physicians just entering practice to experienced healthcare leaders overseeing large medical groups and health systems.
Advocating for Physicians Through Legislative Leadership
One of the most valuable aspects of the MLMIC and MSSNY relationship is our shared commitment to keeping physicians informed about legislative, regulatory, and legal developments that impact the practice of medicine in New York.
Healthcare legislation continues to evolve at a rapid pace, creating new challenges and opportunities for physicians and healthcare organizations. From liability reform and healthcare regulations to workforce issues, reimbursement challenges, and emerging legal concerns, physicians need trusted advocates who understand both the clinical and legal implications of policy decisions.
That is why the longstanding collaboration between Marc Craw, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of MLMIC, and Morris Auster, General Counsel of MSSNY, is so important. Together, they help monitor, analyze, and communicate legislative and regulatory developments that affect New York physicians while serving as strong advocates for the medical profession.
As healthcare continues to become more complex, this collaboration remains an essential resource for physicians. It helps ensure that New York’s medical community remains informed, engaged, and represented on the issues that matter most to their practices, their patients, and the future of healthcare.
Delivering Meaningful Savings
One of the most visible examples of our ongoing collaboration is the MLMIC/MSSNY Preferred Savings Program.
Recognizing the importance of helping physicians manage practice expenses, MSSNY and MLMIC worked together to create an exclusive opportunity that provides qualifying MSSNY members with a 10% discount on their MLMIC medical professional liability insurance premium. Eligible physicians may also qualify for additional discounts that can increase total savings opportunities significantly.
The Preferred Savings Program reflects an important principle that has guided our partnership for decades: finding practical ways to support physicians, reduce burdens, and deliver tangible value.
Collaborating to Educate and Inform
The relationship between MSSNY and MLMIC extends beyond insurance and savings programs. Our organizations continually work together on educational, marketing, and business initiatives designed to keep physicians informed about emerging risks, regulatory developments, patient safety trends, and practice management strategies.
Healthcare continues to evolve rapidly. Physicians need trusted sources of information that understand both the clinical and business aspects of medicine. By combining MSSNY’s advocacy leadership with MLMIC’s expertise in risk management, claims, and medical professional liability, we are able to provide resources that are practical, relevant, and specifically tailored to New York healthcare professionals.
Looking Toward the Future
As healthcare continues to transform, the partnership between MSSNY and MLMIC will continue to evolve as well.
While much has changed over the past five decades, one thing has remained constant: a shared dedication to the physicians who care for New Yorkers every day.
We are proud of the history that MSSNY and MLMIC have built together. More importantly, we are excited about what lies ahead. By continuing to work collaboratively, we can help physicians navigate today’s challenges, prepare for tomorrow’s opportunities, and continue delivering the high-quality care that patients across New York deserve.
On behalf of everyone at MLMIC, I would like to thank MSSNY and its members for their continued partnership, trust, and commitment to the medical profession. We look forward to building on this strong foundation for many years to come.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-(800)-MLMIC.
