Announcing New Membership Categories

WASHINGTON - April 26, 2016 - PRLog -- The Healthcare Billing & Management Association (HBMA) now offers new membership categories, including options for individuals. Current members will be eligible to change their membership type upon their renewal month, if appropriate.
