    Guidelines
    MGMA Government Affairs provides MGMA Washington Connection to the MGMA membership to provide updates on legislative and regulatory issues and grassroots alerts. In order to facilitate collaborative advocacy efforts, states have permission to provide this valuable resource to their state membership regardless of MGMA member status. This policy is documented in the 2014 MGMA State Affiliation Agreement as follows: “MGMA will allow Affiliate to post the MGMA Washington Connection behind the member wall on its website and/or to forward MGMA Washington Connection to Affiliate’s members by email.”

    Some links within the newsletter will send readers to information that requires a member ID and password, which will not be accessible by state-only members. To prevent confusion, states may include the following language along with the MGMA Washington Connection: “Some of the resources highlighted throughout MGMA Washington Connection require a national MGMA member ID and password.
