Our Plan
As part of our mission to have the voice of physicians heard, NJ PHYSICIANS has put into place a plan
to educate our patients, our legislators and our regulators. Our commitment is to:
- HAVE A STRONG VOICE IN TRENTON before the legislature, the Governor and the regulators.
- CHALLENGE COST-CUTTING SCHEMES that jeopardize the health of our patients.
- Ensure that MEDICAL DECISIONS ARE MADE BY PHYSICIANS and vigorously oppose any efforts to compromise this.
- Demand PROPER REIMBURSEMENT for the care we provide.
- ENGAGE THIRD PARTY PAYORS at the bargaining table so neither we, nor the patients, are short-changed.
- FORGE STRATEGIC ALLIANCES with labor and business leaders, with the pharmaceutical industry, with our malpractice insurance companies, with our hospitals and with all organizations concerned with healthcare in New Jersey.
- CREATE A REGISTRY OF ARBITRARY DENIALS AND DELAYS in treatment and diagnosis that have adversely affected patient care.
- Offer EXPERIENCED COUNSEL to assist those facing MALPRACTICE SUITS and GOVERNMENT INQUIRY.
- Work with the major medical malpractice carriers to IMPLEMENT PROVEN RISK PREVENTION PROGRAMS that can LOWER PREMIUMS.
- Organize web-based “Town Hall” meetings to IDENTIFY ISSUES OF CONCERN and DEVELOP STRATEGIES to address them.
- COMMUNICATE new developments as they occur, and at least once per week.
- REDUCE OVERHEAD COSTS through programs specially designed by our corporate sponsors including American Express®, Kern Augustine Conroy & Schoppmann, the McLachlan Kane Insurance Agency, Mid Atlantic Resource Group, QualCare, Inc. and others.
- PROVIDE QUALITY, WEB-BASED CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION free of charge.
