The Emergency Department Practice Management Association
Our Members Deliver Quality Health Care to Americans in the Emergency Department Day and Night

Who We Are
EDPMA is a national trade association representing Emergency Department Physician Groups, ED Billing Companies, and Supporting Organizations that make it their business to deliver quality care in the ED.

What We Do
Our mission is to advocate for emergency department physician groups and their partners to enhance quality patient care through operational excellence and financial stability.

EDPMA is focused on advocating for beneficial policies for emergency physician groups and educating its members about emerging legislative and regulatory issues.

How We Do It
Through its Task Forces, EDPMA advocates for its members on many issues that are important to emergency physician groups including: Medicare reimbursement for physician services; uncompensated care and the growing number of uninsured and underinsured patients; professional liability reform; Medicare’s program rules, including enrollment requirements; and issues related to timely patient access to care and patient safety.

From heart attacks to hurricanes our emergency physician groups work with our nation’s rural, urban, and suburban hospitals each day to ensure that thousands of patients receive safe, high-quality care day and night. But the demands on the Emergency Department are increasing while the resources to meet those demands are not.
