The following statement is attributable to:
Nicole Clark, M.D.,
Chair of the Montana Medical Association Legislative Committee

“The Montana Medical Association is deeply concerned about the recent changes to the childhood immunization schedule announced by the CDC. The U.S. immunization schedule has traditionally relied on a careful, ongoing and robust review of scientific evidence and data by physicians and scientists. This process has ensured that newborns, infants, and children are protected from diseases they may encounter as they grow. We continue to recommend vaccines to protect children from these dangerous diseases and support the evidence-based childhood immunization schedule recommended by national
medical specialty societies that puts children’s health and safety first.”

The Department of Health and Human services is recommending that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduce the number of universallu recommended vaccines from 17 to 11

The patient-physician relationship is built on trust and compassion — values that are essential to empowering patients with the information that they need to make health decisions.

The Montana Medical Association wishes you a joyful holiday season and a healthy New Year!

Physicians fight for their patients every day. Despite this commitment, third parties in health care are making decisions that can prevent patients from getting the care they need.

The Montana Medical Association is pushing back against the bureaucratic red tape of health care by passing MMA legislation to reform prior authorization requirements and we need you to push back with us!

Montana Economic Affairs Interim Committee continues its look at the Rx Drug Supply Chain today. Deeper understanding of PBM pricing practices and transparency requirements is sought. Thanks to MMA's Dr. Nicole Clark who shared the physician perspective at committee's last meeting of wanting to get the medications that will work for patients in the hands of our patients and finding that takes significant time of working through insurance companies requirements. Patients need access to medications, and it needs to be affordable.
