Maryland Needs a Better Practice Environment
|
|
MCMS & MedChi are dedicated to serving as Maryland's foremost advocate and resource for physicians, their patients, and the public health.
Chief among our concerns, as set forth in our 2019
Legislative Agenda
, is that Maryland's practice environment, shaped as it is by existing payment rates and constant pressure on scope of practice and medical liability, does not protect access to physician services long-term. Everyday, we take action as your advocate.
