Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The California Medical Association, Inc. (CMA) is a voluntary, not-for-profit mutual benefit corporation which promotes the science and art of medicine, the protection of public health, the betterment of the medical profession, and to achieve health equity and justice. CMA serves its members through a comprehensive program of legislative, legal, regulatory, economic and social advocacy and member benefit programs. The valuation proposition of the organization emphasizes empowering physicians to lead the transformation of the health care system.

Activities or mission (Part I)

For 166 years, the California Medical Association has pursued its mission to promote the science and art of medicine, the protection of public health, the betterment of the medical profession, and to achieve health equity and justice.

  • Facing another statewide ballot proposition that would have effectively eliminated MICRA's cap on non-economic damages, the California Medical Association and Californians Allied for Patient Protection seized an opportunity to end one of the longest running political battles in California. The Assembly Bill 35, which modernizes MICRA while preserving its underlying principles, has ushered in a new and sustained era of stability around malpractice liability.

  • CMA saw unprecedented grassroots physician engagement, with nearly 4,000 messages sent to policymakers. These physician voices were key in helping to defeat AB 2060 (public member majority on Medical Board of California) and AB 2236 (allowing optometrists to perform surgical procedures).

  • CMA achieved significant victories on health information technology issues by extending the COVID telehealth waivers into 2023; permanently extending key Medi-Cal telehealth payment parity; eliminating e-prescribing burdens (AB 852); and helping physicians comply with the new federal information blocking rule while protecting patients' sensitive medical information (SB 1419).

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
