California MGMA is pleased to bring members access to useful HIPAA information from the California Medical Association. These “Tips” are brought to you as part of efforts by CMGMA and CMA to work more closely together. The HIPAA Tips have been published by CMA for its member physicians and have now been made available to you. Click on the link below for direct access to this wonderful benefit of CMGMA membership:
Below, you will also find links below to CMA Publications, a wealth of information that can help your practice. Start by visiting CMA's website at www.cmanet.org .
CMA members enjoy a discount on CMA publications and additional access to free information so check if physicians in your practice are members (a New Member discount is also available). There are several key benefit programs, including small group health insurance and other benefits that extend to office employees, such as mortgage assistance.
