Payer Advocacy

The Michigan State Medical Society advocates on behalf of physicians to promote fair, transparent, and timely payer practices across the state. MSMS addresses challenges such as prior authorization delays, payment denials, network adequacy, and administrative burden that interfere with the delivery of care. Through legislative advocacy, regulatory engagement, and direct collaboration with insurers and policymakers, MSMS elevates physician concerns and advances policies that support appropriate reimbursement and reduce unnecessary administrative barriers. 

Reimbursement Support

MSMS provides reimbursement assistance to help physician practices navigate complex payer requirements and resolve payment issues. This support includes guidance on coding and billing questions, assistance with denied or delayed claims, and education on payer policies that affect reimbursement. These services are designed to strengthen practice operations and support financial sustainability.
