ACA Spearheading Chiropractic Practice Survey

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff  |  DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE

An online national survey spearheaded by the AMA is underway that will be used to determine physician practice expenses. Mathematica, and independent research group conducting the survey, is sending the Physician Practice Information (PPI) Survey invitation to 10,000 physician practices and individual providers nationwide on a random basis.

How does this relate to doctors of chiropractic? The American Chiropractic Association, which joined more than 170 health care groups in support of the PPI Survey, has contracted with Mathematica to conduct a similar survey, the Clinician Practice Information (CPI) Survey, "on behalf of the chiropractic profession alongside nine other non-MD/DO healthcare organizations."

As of press time in early February, the random sample of chiropractors was due to start receiving email invitations to participate in the survey, which will be open through May. It is assumed that like the PPI Survey, information collected via the CPI Survey will help support payment advocacy by providing updated information on practice expenses, potentially increasing reimbursement for DCs and other providers.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
