Medical-Legal Resources for Physicians
 
 
In the Courts - Legal Resources
The practice of medicine is highly regulated. Whenever you have legal questions, turn to the MSMA Legal Affairs department for answers. Whether it concerns medical records, collaborative practice agreements, or how recent legal decisions may affect your practice, your MSMA legal staff can provide the pertinent information you need.
 
Red Flags Rules
Concerned about the Red Flags Rule? See MSMA's sample Red Flags policy and Frequently Asked Questions or go to www.ama-assn.org to read more AMA guidance materials that can help physicians prepare for the new deadline  
 
Available only online to members only and continuously updated, MSMA offers the Physician’s Guide to Law and Medicine to assist members in understanding the laws that affect the practice of medicine.  
 
Representation to Regulatory & Government Agencies
MSMA members enjoy powerful representation on legislative issues and before regulatory bodies such as the Missouri Board of Healing Arts, Medicare and Medicaid Services, Missouri Department of Insurance, Missouri’s Quality Improvement Organizations, Third-Party Payer Services, and many more. Many physicians volunteer their time to participate in consortiums which shape public health initiatives on obesity, cancer, tobacco, and health literacy.  
 
Contract Review Service
MSMA maintains a list of attorneys who review physician contracts.   
 
Contact Jeffrey Howell, JD, MSMA’s Director of Legal Affairs, for more information about medical-legal consultation services at 800-869-6762.
