Legislative review and reform is one of the most important functions of organized medicine. It is critical that both CMS member and non-member physicians communicate their ideas about the legislative issues that are important to medicine on both the state and federal level. CMS encourages you to voice those concerns. Please send e-mail comments to the CMS Division of Public Affairs.
