MMS NEWS

Ensure your payor physician directory information is accurate

A new law (SB 137) went into effect July 1 requiring plans to ensure that their physician directories are accurate and up-to-date. To help physicians understand their obligations under this new law, CMA has published On-Call document #7163, "Provider Directories." CMA On-Call documents are available free to members in CMA's online health law library at www.cmanet.org/cma-on-call.  Nonmembers can purchase On-Call documents for $2 per page.
