About OCMA

We highly value your interest in becoming a member in the Orange County Medical Association (OCMA) and California Medical Association (CMA).  The more doctors we have as members helps us not just prevent taxes on and cuts to doctor payments but supports meaningful health reform in which the primacy of the doctor-patient relationship is fully restored.  Your membership guarantees our success in legislative and legal advocacy, as well as in crucial educational and policy debates.

OCMA, a non-profit voluntary organization, is designed to promote the science and art of medicine, the protection of public health, and the betterment of the medical profession.

As one of the largest medical societies in the United States, OCMA keeps a close eye on changes in health care, serving a “watchdog” role on local, state, and national legislation as it affects medicine. Today, health care consumers are bombarded with varying ideas about health care, bioethics, health planning, emergency services and reimbursement policies. OCMA has established committees to study these and other current health care concerns.

OCMA provides physicians with the opportunity to keep in contact with each other, discuss new technologies, exchange  clinical information, and learn of the environmental changes in medical care that are sweeping the nation.

The public’s increasing awareness of and need for information on the realities of medicine today provide OCMA with the opportunity to develop timely medical policies and to serve as a leading source of reliable medical information for both the patient and the physician.

On this website you will find all the benefits you will gain from becoming an OCMA member, as well as committees, events and community programs in which you may participate if you choose.  We invite you to keep us informed of any interests or concerns you may have.  Please let us know if we can provide assistance in any of the following areas:

•    Economic/Billing Advocacy
•    Legislative/Regulatory Advocacy
•    Continuing Education
•    Legal Support

With every new member, our success continues to grow.  Imagine what we could do if all Orange County physicians were OCMA/CMA members.  It is true that “Together We Are Stronger!”
