Overview

Mission

Legislative advocacy, public relations, and education for physicians.

What it reported doing in 2024

The medicinelouisiana registered lobbyist will lobby the legislative and executive branches to influence matters affecting the promotion and protection of the practice of medicine and to enhance and improve the public image of the medical profession. Medicinelouisiana staff (hired 3/1/10) has registered to lobby on behalf of the company and has begun meeting with officials. The membership will establish and the executive director will staff topic area legislative committees to communicate the association's attitudes to state government officials on issues germane to its members' professional interests such as insurance regulatory issues, medicare and medicaid legislation, credentialing processes, and compulsory health care legislation. This activity is currently underway. Through this education process, medicinelouisiana anticipates that members will be more informed of the legislative process and able to participate in educating law makers on the business concerns of the practice of medicine.
