MMA Accomplishments
In addition to responding to daily calls from our members, the Association in 2010:
- Monitored all aspects of the federal health reform law and reported regularly to members on its progress.
- Prepared our biannual Legislative Summary of all legislation affecting Maine physicians.
- Increased membership in MMA for the 18th straight year!
- Continued discount programs for collections, merchant banking, office supplies, and payroll processing. These programs are saving MMA members real dollars - frequently more than the cost of dues! (See the entire list of Corporate Affiliates)
- Continued our coding/reimbursement consultation program, allowing member access to professional coding advice on a daily basis free of charge through The Coding Center.
- Published six issues of Maine Medicine, informing members of the legal, legislative, and regulatory news they need to operate their practices.
