Practice Management Seminars and Courses

Opportunities are available to support Practice Management Education Programs which include seminars, webinars (live and on-demand), and publications that focus on the practice and risk management needs of TMA members and their staff.

We offer a wide range of topics, from confidentiality of medical records and OSHA compliance, to Medicare coding, technology, and state prompt pay laws. Seminars are co-sponsored with local county medical societies. In addition, TMA partners with organizations such as:

• American Academy of Professional Coders
• Professional Association Health Care Office Mgrs  
• Texas Association of Physician Assistants
• Texas Medical Association Insurance Trust
• Texas Medical Group Managers Association
• Texas Medical Liability Trust
• Texas Osteopathic Medical Association
• TDI Division of Workers Compensation
• Trailblazer Health Enterprises, LLC 

 Fast Facts  

• Physicians serving on TMA councils and committees are asked to review and approve CME-accredited courses, with final oversight by the Council on Practice Management Services.
• More than 40 seminars [about 5 topics] are offered each year throughout the state.  Our most successful programs deal with regulatory compliance, legal, and reimbursement issues.
• Approximately 75% of seminar participants are non-physicians.  These include primarily 1) office managers/administrators, 2) coding personnel, 3) billing/collection staff, 4) front-office staff and, 5) certified medical assistants.

These opportunities allow you to increase your visibility and impact to TMA member physicians, practice administrators, and end users of the products and services you provide.
