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.

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.

MSMA maintains a list of attorneys who review physician contracts.
