Today is National Doctors’ Day, a time to recognize physicians with dignity, respect, and gratitude. At ISMA, we’re taking a moment to thank the doctors who bring skill, judgment, and steady presence to patient care every day.

The physicians we work with treat illnesses, but they also go a step beyond. They earn trust in hard conversations, guide teams through uncertainty, and stay grounded when the stakes are high. Their work reflects both excellence in medicine and the humanity required to practice it well.

National Doctors’ Day is a chance to say thank you in a way that feels credible and personal. We love hearing your stories about why you became physicians! Please tell us more so we can display these is a really meaningful way!

Look at us hanging out in the AMA national news this morning...
Earlier this month, Indiana’s Governor signed important legislation backed by the Indiana State Medical Association that requires plans to notify physicians when a claim is being downcoded, bars a plan from downcoding a claim based on a diagnosis alone and requires a clear appeals process that permits the batching of downcoded claims. The new law also prohibits a plan from using an automated process, program, or tool, including AI, to downcode a claim and prevents downcoding from being used to target physicians caring for patients with complex medical conditions.
A session for the books, for sure! This doesn't even include our legislation on penalties for out-of-network providers. IT IS THE FIRST IN THE ENTIRE NATION!!!
