AMA National Survey to Document Physician Practice Expense Is Still Open

Please take the time to complete the Physician Practice Information Survey (PPIS) if you or your practice manager receive it! The information you share will be extremely valuable in updating payment rates for the services that you provide to your patients, and your input is critical for the success of the study. Participation will ensure that practice expenses and patient care hours are accurately reflected in the payment rates under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. 

The American Medical Association (AMA) continues its work to collect representative data on physician practice expenses. The AMA has contracted with Mathematica, an independent research company with experience in survey methods, to conduct the PPIS to better understand the costs faced by today’s physician practices to support physician payment advocacy. The study will serve as an opportunity to communicate accurate financial information to policymakers, including to members of Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
