Current opt-out methods for AMA - American Medical Association mail
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the AMA - American Medical Association mailer. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call AMA - American Medical Association at +1-312-464-4782. Ask them to stop promotional mail for the name and address on the mailer. If you are a physician on the AMA Physician Masterfile, say you want a No Contact listing.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An offer already labeled can still arrive. A Masterfile No Contact request can take 90 days or more for licensees to catch up.
- Credential and account mail is separate. Stopping promotional mail does not stop a membership bill, license verification, or other account mail.
- A later list add-back can start it again. Joining again or updating a Masterfile record can put the address back on a file.
Why Do You Receive AMA – American Medical Association Mail?
The American Medical Association is the national physicians’ group. Dr. Nathan S. Davis’s 1845 call led to its founding in 1847. It publishes JAMA, first issued in 1883, and Current Procedural Terminology, first issued in 1966. It also keeps the AMA Physician Masterfile, a directory of licensed physicians that it licenses for mail. The leftover mail is often a membership pitch, a CME offer, or a journal promo, not a license-board letter.
You get that mail if you are a physician or student on that file, joined, or landed on a list they license. A No Contact request on the Masterfile can also cut licensee mail from publishers and drug makers. The leftover packet is often an offer for a journal you already get at work.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from AMA - American Medical Association as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of AMA - American Medical Association mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops AMA – American Medical Association marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the AMA No Contact Request page, or call +1-312-464-4782, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of promotional mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until AMA - American Medical Association mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an offer arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. A Masterfile No Contact request can take longer for licensees. Membership bills can still arrive.
How do I stop AMA - American Medical Association mail for a previous resident?
Call AMA - American Medical Association at +1-312-464-4782 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will AMA - American Medical Association mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
