HEALTH INSURANCE AND PAYMENT REFORM LISTENING SESSIONS SCHEDULED
MCMS leaders want to hear from non-hospital-based physicians about your challenges getting paid for the care you provide.
There are two opportunities to provide feedback – Tuesday, August 29 or Thursday, August 31 at 6:30 p.m. – via zoom.
Dr. Angela Marshall, MCMS President, has made this Priority #1 during her presidency because it is an access to care issue and physician well-being issue. Please join us on either night to share what keeps you up at night when it comes to getting paid by the insurers.

Change Is Possible, You Can Make It Happen!
Have you ever said, “there ought to be a law” or “this law or regulation makes no sense because it impedes me from providing the care I know is needed?” And, have you ever said, “nothing’s going to change; why get involved?” If you have uttered any of these comments or questions loudly or under your breath, the answer is that change is possible. Changing laws or regulations can seem daunting; however, MCMS provides a process that allows you to bring an idea for change forward which can be addressed at a state level or a federal level if that is needed.
This form is a workflow to help you process your thoughts – What change do you think is needed and why? What action needs to be taken to accomplish it? Is it a state or federal issue? This is the way all resolutions for consideration by MedChi’s House of Delegates start. One physician. One idea or challenge. Working through MCMS to see the change you know is needed to improve your ability to care for your patients and your well-being.
If you have questions, contact Susan D’Antoni at [email protected]. She’s happy to shepherd you through the process.
