MDs SHOULD URGE GOVERNOR TO SIGN NO-FAULT "INTOX" BILL

The Senate and Assembly have passed legislation that would require an automobile insurance company to reimburse a physician or other provider for care rendered to a person injured as a result of driving while intoxicated within the first 48 hours after an accident.  Current law permits insurers to disclaim coverage in these instances.  MSSNY strongly supports this legislation.

It is likely that the bill will be delivered to the governor shortly.

Because the auto insurance industry has voiced strong opposition to this bill, it is imperative that the Governor hear from the physicians why it is important that he sign this bill into law.

Physicians may send a letter of support to the Governor in Albany or call his office at 518-474-8390.
