PPE Relief Direct for Healthcare Professionals and Organizations
Due to ongoing disruption in personal protective equipment (PPE) supply and increasing demand, the California Medical Association (CMA), with the help of the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has established this portal to provide PPE at no cost to healthcare professionals and organizations. The PPE is offered free of charge with only a nominal shipping and handling fee per order to offset the actual costs associated with managing the program which include warehousing, packing and freight preparation and actual shipping costs. We will offer this program for as long as we have supply available.
Please register your organization/company/provider, using your group NPI number below. If you do not have a group NPI number, please use a provider NPI number instead. This is for auditing purposes only. For questions, please contact CMA member service at (800) 786-4262 or submit a contact form.
Items are first-come, first-served.

Last Summer, the California Medical Association (CMA) developed an entirely new statewide distribution system for essential medical equipment, which included PPE donations from the Office of Emergency Services (OES).
California physicians and medical groups were invited to participate in drive-thru events and an online ordering portal to receive much needed PPE. All PPE was free and there was only a nominal shipping and handling fee.
CMA distributed over 100 million pieces of PPE to physicians and medical groups from August 1 to December 31, 2020. The donations supported approximately 100,000 California physicians and their staff, which represented a total value of more than $200 million.
Thank you @Cal_OES and @CMAdocs #PPERelief Program, for helping us provide medical-grade PPE – N95 respirators, surgical masks, face shields, isolation gowns, coveralls, goggles, hand sanitizers – to our practices. Learn about the program cmadocs.org/ppe

These free PPE kits were a lifeline during a very challenging year.

Without the donations, we would have had to limit hours or close our practice completely. The PPE helped our patient care team stay healthy and enabled us to continue serving our patients – our community is healthier because of this program.
