MSDC Publishes 25th Council Report Card December 26, 2024
Written by MSDC Staff
Upon the conclusion of this DC Council session, MSDC published a report card of its wins and progress over the last session. DC Council sessions last two years, so the issues covered are from 2023 and 2024.
Highlighting the report is the immense progress physicians have made in improving the care in the District. Most prominently, MSDC members successfully advocated for one of the most patient-focused prior authorization reform laws in the country. Following the initial bill's passage, physicians again successfully advocated for funding the bill to cover Medicaid and the Alliance.
Other issues covered in the report include:
- Passing the MSDC initiated copay accumulated bill
- Initiating a new Physicians Visit the Council Day advocacy opportunity
- Limiting an onerous scope of practice expansion bill
- Preventing new medical license CME requirements
