Physician Practice Information Study
Last Chance to Participate!

If you have completed the Physician Practice Information Survey in 2008, your participation is sincerely appreciated.  If you have not yet submitted your survey, please do so by December 31!

The American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM), the American Medical Association and more than 70 other organizations are conducting a comprehensive multi-specialty survey of American's physician practices.  Results from the study will be used to positively influence national decision makers.  The section of the survey pertaining to your practice expenses is particularly important, and we request that you complete it accurately in its entirety.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had indicated it will use the results of the study to determine physician payment.  The survey firm, dmrkynetec has been retained to contact randomly selected physicians and practice managers to collect responses.  All responses will remain confidential.

Pain Medicine has only 73 completed surveys!  Many other specialties have well over 100 completed surveys.  Please help ensure that our specialty will benefit from this survey effort.

Please let your staff know that you would like to participate in this survey and convey the importance of accepting incoming calls, faxes or emails from dmrkynetec.  If you have been selected to participate in this important effort and have any questions about this survey, please call toll-free at (877) 816-8940 and ask to speak with one of dmrkynetec's executive interviewers about the 2008 Physician Practice Information Survey.
