Salud en tus Manos wins a battle
Thanks to the efforts of consumers (patients), physicians, providers of health care and the Coalicion Salud en tus Manos, Senate Bill 2190 was approved, with amendments, by the House of Representatives yesterday June 19, 2008.
Will need to study the small letters of the bill now. We hope this bill will get to the Governor's desk for his signature soon.
This bill relies on the State Action provision within the anti monopolistic laws of the United States, so that providers of care will have as much a say as insurance companies have had for many years in deciding guiding principles and other important items in the provision of health care in Puerto Rico.

Survey of physician practices
AMA, APA and other societies coordinate a multispecialty survey of U.S. physician practices
Have you been selected to participate in the Physician Practice Information survey?
The AMA and more than 70 other organizations are conducting a comprehensive multispecialty survey of America's physician practices. The results will be used to positively influence national decision-makers to ensure accurate and fair representation for all physicians and patients, and to articulate the challenges of running a practice that provides expert patient care, while operating a business that is sustainable. Of particular importance is the section of the study pertaining to practice expenses and the amounts that are attributable to you. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has indicated it will use the results of this study to help determine physician payment. The survey firm, dmrkynetec, will contact randomly selected physicians and practice managers to collect responses. All responses will remain confidential.
Please alert your staff regarding your willingness to participate in this survey and the importance of accepting incoming calls, faxes or e-mails from dmrkynetec, the firm administering the survey.
If you have been selected to participate in this important effort and have any questions about this survey, please call toll-free at 1-877-816-8940 and ask to speak with one of dmrkynetec's executive interviewers about the 2008 Physician Information and Practice Expense Survey.
