- CAP Urges Pathologists to Respond to AMA-Mathematica Physician Practice Expense Survey ending in June
The CAP is one of more than 170 health care organizations supporting a national study by the AMA and Mathematica that will collect representative data on physician practice expenses. The aim of the AMA Physician Practice Information Survey is to better understand the costs faced by today’s physician practices to support physician payment advocacy.
Pathologists and their practices must watch for invitations to complete the survey. Invitations and reminders about the costs survey will come from PPISurvey@mathematica-mpr.com. Invitations and reminders about physician hours worked will come from
PhysicianHoursSurvey@mathematica-mpr.com with the subject line: “Please help to update accurate physician payments.” Your input will ensure future pathology payment rates are accurate.
The study will serve as an opportunity to communicate accurate financial information to policymakers, including members of Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The survey has been extended through at least the end of June.
Physicians will be randomly selected to participate. If contacted, you will receive a $100 stipend for participating in the survey and your individual practice data will be kept private. Participation is voluntary but critical to the success of efforts to support accurate resource-based physician payment.
Again, the CAP strongly urges all physicians who are selected for the surveys to respond as soon as possible. For more information read the Physician Practice Information Survey Methodology Report.
