    TMA’s Policy and Procedure guide contains more than 200 up-to-date policies and procedures, tools, sample letters, and forms you can customize for your office.  This practical, easy-to-use guide is specific to Texas medical practices and Texas law and is based on "best practices" that are vital to running an efficient practice — from solo physicians to large groups.

    As an added bonus, physicians who complete a post-test can earn continuing medical education credits and a professional liability discount from the Texas Medical Liability Trust.

    Each guide contains a customizable CD containing policies and procedures on:

    - Human Resources
    - Front Desk
    - Business Office
    - Management Responsibilities

    - Medical Records
