Performance and Practices of Successful Medical Groups

Please note: When purchasing MGMA annual surveys, please pay attention to the publication dates. MGMA normally collects data from one year, names the survey for the following year, and publishes the data midway through, or at the end of the third year. Therefore, for example, a 2008 survey, based on 2007 data, but published in early 2009 will be useable throughout 2010, a 2009 survey with 2008 data published in early 2010 will be useable through 2011, and so on. The following surveys are the most current surveys available at this time.
