From the President’s Desk
In 2021, CPAN continued to fight for the right to recover—in the Legislature, in the courts, and in the public sphere.
It was a difficult year for all of us—our pleas to lawmakers continued to fall on deaf ears, and the 45% cut in care for catastrophic injuries that went into effect last July has been devastating to the provider community. By October 2021, a study conducted by the nonprofit public health institute MPHI found that 1,548 no-fault patients had been discharged by their previous providers and 3,049 Michigan jobs had been eliminated. By now, those numbers are no doubt much higher.
