Advocacy also happens outside of government and the public sector. The MMA advocates for medicine and health through interactions with insurers, community organizations, media, business groups, and community organizations.

MMA Community Priorities

Prior Authorization  
Health plans and pharmacy benefit managers establish prior authorization requirements  that can interfere with your ability to provide optimal care. The MMA is working to reduce this burden.
 
Professional Satisfaction  
Lack of autonomy, third-party interference with medical decision making, and administrative hassles are all leading to physician burnout. Learn what the MMA is doing to address this problem.
 
Health Equity 
While Minnesota is constantly ranked as one of the healthiest states, we have among the worst health disparities related to race and ethnicity. The MMA is working to ensure health care for all Minnesotans.
 
Vaccination  
The MMA is working to increase the childhood immunization rates for all Minnesotans. This is a proven strategy to reduce preventable diseases.
