Protecting the Patient-Physician Relationship in New York

Your Care is At Our Core highlights the essential role physicians play in delivering safe, high-quality, physician-led care. It reinforces what patients already know: trust, training, and continuity matter.

Key Issues

What New York Physicians Are Facing

These issue areas affect access, quality, efficiency, and the physician-patient relationship. MSSNY and AMA resources below are organized to support education, advocacy, and action.

Prior Authorization

Reduce Delays in Care

Prior authorization continues to delay treatment, create unnecessary administrative work, and interfere with timely clinical decision-making.

Physicians need practical reform tools and patients need clear explanations of how these barriers affect access to medically necessary care.

Medicaid

Support Access for Vulnerable Patients

A stronger Medicaid program helps preserve access to essential services for patients and supports physicians caring for high-need communities.

Advocacy around Medicaid is ultimately advocacy for patient access, continuity of care, and a more stable healthcare delivery system.

Scope of Practice

Protect Physician-Led Team Care

Patients benefit when care teams are led by physicians with the education, training, and clinical experience required for complex medical decision-making.
