About HCMA |
Every physician is aware of the need to maintain adequate medical records for each of their patients. Such records are crucial to providing quality health care by serving as a basis for planning the patient's care and recording essential medical information concerning the patient's condition and treatment. Moreover, the records protect the physician legally by documenting the patient's changing medical condition and evaluation, as well as actions take by the primary care and consulting physicians. Furthermore, the need for adequate medical records is recognized not only by physicians themselves, but also by the state, which has passed statutes and rules regulating the content, retention, and accessibility of medical records. read more.. |
The Hillsborough County Medical Association, Inc., (HCMA) is an organization of 1300 physicians and medical students dedicated to the health of our community. The HCMA is an entirely voluntary organization. Not all physicians in Hillsborough County are members. Those who are members have undergone close scrutiny by virtue of our credentialing process, which verifies a physician’s medical education background.
The Medical Association provides a number of valuable services. Many people must select a physician from an insurance carrier list. Call the HCMA and a staff member can give you information about our members, including education, special training, certification, and other items to help you make a selection. read more... |
