News & Announcements
Despite being held virtually, this year’s Michigan Family Medicine Advocacy Day on Mar. 23 proved effective at joining nearly 70 advocates and state legislators to talk about issues impacting patients, the primary care workforce, and the practice of family medicine.
Prior Authorization Reform Legislation Introduced in the Michigan Senate
Senate Bill 247 is the re-introduction of prior authorization reform legislation similar to SB 612 that passed the Michigan Senate last term. While this new legislation is significantly better than the previous SB 612, there is still advocacy work to be done to ensure this legislation will improve outcomes for patients while reducing the prior authorization red tape physicians are forced to navigate.
