Insurance and Practice Challenges: Tell Us What You’re Seeing
Our Practice Management Committee actively tracks local and regional issues affecting physician practices, including problems with commercial payers and other insurers. To help us identify trends and advocate more effectively on your behalf, we invite practice leaders and physicians to use the Practice Management Issue Form on this page to report specific challenges.
On the form, we ask you to share:
- Practice name and contact information
- Payer(s) involved
- Type of issue (e.g., prior authorization, denials, downcoding, network problems, payment delays, utilization review, other)
- Brief description of the problem, including examples or claim types
- Any steps you have already taken (appeals, complaints, internal process changes)
- Urgency and impact on patient care or practice operations
The Practice Management Committee reviews these submissions, vets practice management issues, identifies common payer concerns, and uses this information to guide educational programming and payer outreach. While we cannot address every individual case, your input directly informs our conversations with insurers and supports our advocacy work.
