4 Main Purposes

  • Encourage the development of solutions to the problems of the medical group practice
  • Proactively exert a positive influence on the external forces impacting the direction and development of medical group practice

A Vital Resource

Kansas MGMA is a vital resource to medical practice administrators because it offers educational programs, publications, and networking opportunities as well as other services. Kansas MGMA provides members with important information concerning health care issues affecting medical practices. It prepares members to deal with state and local legislative and legal issues as well as keeping them informed about competition, third-party payers and the activities of various medical professional organizations. Members have the opportunity to meet with colleagues on a regular basis. Legally independent from the national Medical Group Management Association, the Kansas MGMA is governed by its own bylaws and elected leadership. Kansas MGMA is represented at the MGMA regional (section) and national levels through our member-elected Board of Directors.
