MALPRACTICE PURCHASING

Obtaining cost effective, comprehensive medical malpractice coverage has been a cornerstone in MAMA's foundation. In an environment that has forced many private physicians to alter practice patterns, and pay escalating premiums, MAMA has been successful in negotiating a group arrangement that has minimized the effects of an inflationary market.

MANAGED CARE CONTRACTING

As managed care contracting becomes more complex, and insurance companies become more demanding, be assured that MAMA is representing the interests of the physician.

CREDENTIALLING

Staying abreast to the changes in state laws, and policies pertaining to the credentialing process is a demanding task. Whether you are adding a physician, healthcare professional, or going through the recredentialling process, MAMA will manage the process.

MAMA has arranged for preferred pricing for medical, surgical, pharmaceutical and office supplies with various vendors.  Members enjoy substantial discounts as a result of the volume of business delivered to these vendors collectively by MAMA.
