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.
You became a chiropractor to serve people, not an insurance company. You deserve to run a business that aligns with your values, supports your family and lights you up. Cash-based care isn’t just a pricing model – it’s a philosophy rooted in freedom, trust and respect for your patients and for yourself. Here's why - and how - to do it.
Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) is expanding its doctor of chiropractic program to a satellite campus in Phoenix, Ariz., with a January 2026 date for the inaugural class of students to begin instruction. With the expansion, SCU takes an important step in filling a geographic void in chiropractic education in the West, according to the university.
At this very moment in history, the public is awakening. They’re questioning what they’ve been told about health – what they eat, how they think, how they manage stress, and what they’ve been prescribed. The recently released MAHA Report is a clarion call for transformation. As the public seeks answers beyond pills and procedures, chiropractic is poised to offer something more: whole-being care.
