National Policy Decisions Impact Your Practice Every Day

Decisions made in Washington, D.C. impact you and your patients. They affect how you practice medicine, obtain reimbursement, model care delivery, and provide access to care.

At the MMS, we ensure your voice is represented at the federal level so that federal health policy decisions thoughtfully consider the realities of practicing medicine as a physician.

We work with:

  • All eleven offices of our Massachusetts members of Congress
  • All 50 state medical societies
  • National medical associations, including the AMA and specialty societies
  • Federal agencies and regulators
