MGMA Business
Partner Membership
The primary goal of MGMA
is to provide a source of networking for medical group managers. The
Business Partner members help to support the goal by offering
availability of services/products, acting as an objective resource,
and through financial contributions for programming. Most managers
prefer to do business with people they know. The key to success for
an MGMA Business Partner is making an effort to develop long-term
relationships with managers and other Business Partners. Click
here for Business Partner Benefits.
Some benefits of Business Partner membership include:
Brand Recognition
Business Partners are listed on the website with a description of
their company and a link to the company website. Additionally, business
partner logos are featured on the scrolling announcements
before every meeting.
Directory of Products and
Services
Business Partners may be listed in a printed Directory of Products
and Services distributed to the membership. The directory includes a
description of the company, contact information and website address.

meet with other healthcare professionals in the St. Louis practice
management community. The topics presented at the meetings will help
keep you abreast of current trends in practice management.
Additionally, MGMA features two opportunities to share your
expertise and showcase your products and services at these
luncheons.
Education
Resource Center – don’t miss the
opportunity to display your industry knowledge! This table at our
monthly meetings was established so that we could demonstrate to the
practice management members the depth of knowledge of our BP’s.
Articles relating to your part of the industry, articles your
company has produced, etc. are welcomed. The educational materials
can be supplemented with your business card or brochure. Just be
sure to take everything with you at the end of the meeting so that
it isn’t discarded.
