Today, the Florida Medical association House of Delegates passed the following resolution without a single vote of dissent among the 300 delegates in attendance: .
RESOLVED, That the FMA acknowledges that the certification requirements within the MOC process are costly, time-sensitive, and result in significant disruptions for the availability of physicians for patient care, and therefore, the current MOC programs should be modified; and be it .
RESOLVED, That the FMA opposes any efforts to require Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program as a condition of medical licensure, or as a pre- requisite for hospital/staff privileges, employment in State of Florida/county medical facilities, reimbursement from 3rd parties, or issuance of malpractice insurance; and be it further .
RESOLVED, That the FMA advocates that the lack of specialty board recertification should not restrict the ability of the physician to practice medicine in Florida. .
RESOLVED, That the FMA monitor the American Health Legal Foundation who is seeking legislation to prevent hospital staffs and insurance companies from refusing to credential physicians who do not participate in the MOC program. .
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the AMA House of Delegates.
The number of states openly opposing this regulatory Capture= Extortion is on the rise and this set of resolutions should serve as template for EVERY state on MOC
