Overview

Mission

Let My Doctors Decide Action Network (LMDD Action Network) exists to promote the social welfare of individuals who are impacted by barriers to access related to doctor-prescribed treatment. LMDD Action Network spreads awareness, conducts research projects and campaigns, and regularly meets with partner groups to discuss projects around barriers to access for patients relating to their doctor-prescribed treatment.

What it reported doing in 2024

LMDD Action Network worked to achieve patient-centered health care coverage to improve wellness, lower costs, and protect the patient-physician relationship. It attempted to achieve meaningful reforms and strongly encourage the adoption of straight forward principles that address the barriers that prevent patients and doctor from making treatment decisions. This includes changes at the national and state levels that improve benefit design, promote access and equality, and ensure coverage that empowers patient-provider decision making, promotes access and adherence, and addresses affordability.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
