Tuesday is the day! We urge physicians across New York to sign up for MSSNY Physician Advocacy Day, spread the word, and bring a colleague to Albany. Make your voice count! Your advocacy can help shape policies that impact your practice and patient care. The morning educational program will take place this year in Meeting Room 6 in the Empire State Plaza Concourse.
Key issues this year include preserving the availability of Excess Medical Liability Insurance coverage, preserving physician rights to appeal Medicaid managed care underpayments to dispute resolution, preserving the historical role of county medical societies to review applications to Workers’ Compensation, and protecting patients by opposing the removal of the important oversight of patient care by physicians. Among the key leaders who will speak at the morning educational program:
- Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins
- Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris
- Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt
- Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay
- Assembly Health Committee Chair Amy Paulin
- Assembly Insurance Committee Chair David Weprin
- Senate Health Committee Chair Gustavo Rivera
- Senate Insurance Committee Chair Jamaal Bailey
- Deputy Health Commissioner Dr. Doug Fish
This event comes at a pivotal time as the Senate and Assembly will each be finalizing their one-house budgets and entering negotiations with the Governor. Join us and stand up for the future of healthcare in New York!
