California Medical Group Management Association

What California Medical Group Management Association does

California Medical Group Management Association (CAMGMA) is a California-focused nonprofit professional membership association for medical group practice administrators, operating as a state affiliate of National MGMA since its founding in 1965. The organization serves practice managers across the state through six regional chapters — Far Northern, Mid-State, Northern California, Sacramento, San Diego, and Southern California — delivering education, networking, and advocacy for the medical group management profession.

CAMGMA's product surface is built on the Wild Apricot membership-management SaaS and includes individual Membership and a Dual Membership bundle with National MGMA, ACMPE certification preparation, a Career Center, a Business Associate Directory, and an events and webinars program, with single sign-on available through Google, Microsoft, and Apple. The Business Associate Directory and Career Center function as two-sided marketplace features connecting members with vendors and employers.

The business model combines three revenue streams: membership dues, paid non-member access to webinars ($35 per webinar, with complimentary access for members), and tiered sponsorship packages, with the 2026 Sponsorship Packet featuring named Diamond/Royal sponsors including the California Academy of Physicians (CAP), EmpowerHCP, and Medcycle Solutions. The organization is staffed by 1–10 employees and operates with a mailing address in Hamilton, New Jersey, despite its California-only membership scope.

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Medical Group Management Association (National MGMA): National parent organization of CAMGMA and the dominant US professional association for medical group managers. Operates the same membership/education/advocacy model but at a national scale; provides ACMPE certification and dual-membership pathways that CAMGMA leverages.
• American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE): Premier US professional society for healthcare executives. Closely comparable to CAMGMA in mission (professional development, credentialing, advocacy, networking for healthcare leaders), though ACHE focuses on executive-level hospital leadership rather than medical group practice management.
• American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA): National professional association for medical assistants with state chapter structure similar to CAMGMA. Comparable dues-funded, certification-driven, regionally organized association model serving a healthcare workforce segment.
• Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA): National membership organization for healthcare finance professionals. Similar association model — dues, chapters, certification (HFMA Credential), events, and advocacy — serving an adjacent healthcare administration audience.

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association (AMA): Largest US physician professional association. Overlaps with CAMGMA's California membership base through physician members who employ practice managers, but AMA operates at far larger scale and serves clinicians rather than administrators.
• California Medical Association (CMA): California's statewide professional association for physicians and medical professionals. Operates in the same California healthcare ecosystem with overlapping membership and policy advocacy but represents physicians directly rather than practice administrators.

Regional players

• Florida MGMA: Sister state chapter under National MGMA serving Florida medical group managers. Operates an essentially identical model (state-level chapter, regional events, dual membership) but in a different geography, making it the closest structural analogue outside California.
• Texas MGMA: Another National MGMA state chapter serving Texas medical practice managers. Mirrors CAMGMA's structure, programming, and dual-membership mechanics within a different regional market.
• California Hospital Association (CHA): California statewide trade association for hospitals and health systems. Comparable in serving California healthcare administrators but focused on institutional providers rather than medical group practices.

Others

• American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE): The certification body within National MGMA that issues the ACMPE credential. CAMGMA sells ACMPE exam prep support, making ACMPE the upstream credentialing partner rather than a competitor.
