About Us

To educate, represent and support medical practice professionals.

In the early months of 1978, some 13 medical practice administrators and billing managers met to discuss issues which affected physician practices and reimbursement. These individuals realized the importance of working together to address their issues and on November 28, 1978, Maryland MGMA filed its Articles of Incorporation with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation [SDAT] and became the officially recognized state affiliate of the Medical Group Management Association, National MGMA.

With over 32 years experience, Maryland MGMA still offers the necessary education, networking opportunities and resources for medical practice individuals to be successful.

Maryland MGMA is authorized and approved to function as a 501(c)(6) professional association as determined by the Internal Revenue Service.
