Second Launch of CPI Survey in March–Check Your Email

In February, Mathematica launched the clinician practice information (CPI) survey to a random sample of audiologists selected by National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers. A second launch of a larger sample is planned for this month, so we anticipate more audiologists to receive the request to participate.

The Academy encourages members to continue with routine monitoring of email folders (inbox, spam, etc.) for communication about the CPI survey. Any audiologist, not just Academy or American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) members, with an NPI could be selected randomly and would receive an email directly from Mathematica with instructions.

The CPI survey is the partner survey to the physician practice information (PPI) survey, and together they collect updated data on practice expenses across health care disciplines and specialties. The Academy and ASHA have contracted with Mathematica for the audiology portion.

See the announcement from the Academy and ASHA for more details. We recognize that the survey is quite detailed and appreciate members’ willingness to contribute accurate data on practice costs.
