Mathematica launched the clinician practice information (CPI) survey to a random sample of audiologists selected by National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers. Any audiologist with an NPI could be selected for the random sample, and would receive an email directly from Mathematica with instructions.
The Academy and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) have contracted with Mathematica for the audiology portion of the data collection, but we are not aware of who is selected as part of the random sample.
The Academy encourages all members to check email inboxes, as well as junk and spam folders, to make sure they do not overlook an email sent last Thursday, February 22, from Mathematica.
The survey is involved, but it is very important to complete, if selected, to contribute to accurate data on practice costs. The CPI survey is the partner survey to the physician practice information (PPI) survey, and together they will collect updated data on practice expenses across health-care disciplines and specialties.
See the announcement from the Academy and ASHA for more details.
