2023 MN Legislative Session: Wins for Patients & Primary Care

The 2023 Minnesota Legislative Session has ended. In addition to passing a balanced budget for the next two-year period, the Minnesota Legislature passed many bills that the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians (MAFP) strongly supported, including the All-Payer Claims Database update, audio-only telehealth coverage, rural health care workforce funding, firearm safety measures and more.

While this is being referred to as a historic session for the number of bills passed, it was clearly a good (policy) year for family physicians and their patients.
