About Us

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, MGMA. This year, we celebrate our 30th anniversary.

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

Since 2000, state leaders have worked diligently to enhance our association. Many organizational developments occurred which include the development of a Strategic Plan. As a byproduct of the Strategic Plan, the board utilized the experience of an attorney who specializes in not-for-profit organizations, to update our Bylaws. During the 2007 election process, the Bylaws were overwhelmingly approved by the membership and took effect January 1, 2008.

After a successful survey of the membership, the educational calendar was redesigned to combine the TechKnowledgy Expo and Annual Conference into one State Conference and Technology Expo. This conference is the only program that requires payment from our members. All other educational programs are offered with free registration to each Maryland MGMA member. The content of our programs are geared to the different skill sets within our membership.

Today, with over 30 years experience, Maryland MGMA still offers the necessary education, tools and resources for medical practice individuals to be successful.
