With more than 7,000 members, the Medical Association is the oldest, largest and most effective organization representing physicians and medicine in Alabama. And, with a 63 percent market share, the Medical Association has the highest concentration of physician participation in the Southeast. Protecting the practice of medicine in Alabama is our primary concern. Our Government Relations and Public Affairs team works in Montgomery and Washington, DC, to prevent intrusion into the doctor-patient relationship, reduce the insurance hassle factor and government mandates, and keep third parties out of the exam room. Protecting patient safety while minimizing physicians’ exposure to liability are top priorities. But we are only as strong as our member physicians. The Medical Association has defeated frivolous lawsuit legislation and other bills to place standards of care into state law. We have successfully protected injured workers’ access to medical care and are working with our Congressional Delegation to find solutions to the many problems with the Affordable Care Act, to stop ICD-10, and the onslaught of government mandates on physicians, and free you to do what you do best – treat patients!
