WINNER: Gene Ransom and MedChi

Gene Ransom, CEO and Executive Director of MedChi (The Maryland State Medical Society) approached the 2021 session with one goal: deliver for MedChi membership on Maryland issues after more than a year with physicians in the national spotlight. Whether that meant a massive increase in physician payment for Medicaid, preservation of payments for telehealth services post-pandemic, or successfully resisting changes in state code that would have lowered the standard for the term “physician,” the MedChi team was relentless in the interest of Maryland physicians.
