      2026 MGMA Financials and Operations Data Report
      2026 MGMA Financials and Operations Data Report

      The benchmarks and trends from the 2026 MGMA DataDive Financials and Operations data set matter for next year’s budget — but also for the financial decisions practices are making right now:

      • How much of each revenue dollar is being consumed by the cost of running the practice?
      • Is revenue growth creating enough room for the next hire, technology renewal or unexpected expense?
      • Where is cash slowing down — in charge posting, aging A/R, payer delays or patient balances?
      The financial picture is increasingly uneven in 2026. Operating costs remain the predictable pressure, while revenue growth and cash conversion vary widely across practices. This report shows where those pressures are landing and which measures can help leaders distinguish needed capacity from costly rework.
