Reminder: Complete Important Physician Practice Information Survey

Members & Publications

January 26, 2024

As AAPM&R previously shared, the American Medical Association is in the process of conducting a Physician Practice Information (PPI) Survey of thousands of medical practices.  The survey has been sent to a sample of practice and not everyone will receive a copy.  A reminder about this survey went out to practices on Thursday January 25.  It is critically important that practices that receive this survey complete it accurately and in a timely fashion as the results will directly impact payment. 

Please ask your practice administrator(s) to look for an email from PPISurvey@mathmatica-mpr.com with the subject line “Reminder: The AMA needs your input to support fair and accurate physician payment.”  If your practice received a survey, please encourage staff to complete the survey as soon as possible.  If you have any questions about the PPI survey, please contact healthpolicy@aapmr.org.

 

Legislation Introduced to Alleviate Impact of Conversion Factor Cut for 2021

Nov 09, 2020

Last month, two bills were introduced in the House proposing solutions to the estimated 10.6% Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor cut expected to go into effect January 1, 2021.  The bills offer some relief to the cut, but do not reflect a comprehensive or long-term solution.  AAPM&R has therefore chosen to remain neutral regarding these bills. 

Your Academy continues to advocate for a permanent solution to the conversion factor cut while maintaining the important payment increases to office and outpatient evaluation and management services.
