The New York State Society of Plastic Surgeons is busy growing and advocating for our members. 

This week NYSSPS spent the day at the New York State Capital and in the Legislative Office Building meeting with policymakers on issues affecting NYS Plastic Surgeons. 

The Albany Lobbying Day was a huge success.  The day was packed with meetings of the standing chairpersons of the Senate and Assembly health, insurance, and higher  education committees.  The Albany Agenda included priorities that affect physicians on a daily basis, such as prior authorization, truth in advertising, out-of-network reimbursement, access to breast reconstruction and patient safety, to name a few.   The coordination of the successful day was made possible by the organization of our Executive Director, Lisa Alteri and Capital Health Consulting with NYSSPS.  NYSSPS leadership thank the members that shared their time and their voice to advocate for NYS Plastic Surgeons.   We are excited to continue building relationships with New York State legislators and policymakers to create meaningful changes to improve plastic surgery care in the future!
