Acupuncture Today is considered one of the best acupuncture publications in the business. Here's your chance to make it even better.
AT is giving readers the chance to communicate exactly what type of news and information they'd like to see in the publication. Toward that end, we've created an online reader survey program that allows readers to rate various elements of the publication, including news items, columnist articles, the Acupuncture Poll, and the publication's overall scope and design. By taking this short, 10-question survey, you will help get to decide what topics we cover, what kind of news we report on, what areas of interest are most (or least) important to you.
To participate in the survey, send your e-mail address to 2003survey@acupuncturetoday.com. In January, you will receive a link to the survey that allows you to participate. Readers whose e-mail addresses are already on file will also be given an opportunity to take the survey. The deadline to submit your e-mail address is Dec. 20, 2003.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to help make Acupuncture Today exactly the way you want it.
When we talk about fertility, the focus is often placed on the ovaries and the uterus. Yet sperm-related factors contribute to nearly half of all cases of infertility. Whether someone is navigating fertility care alone or with a partner, and whether building a family through intercourse, IVI, IUI or IVF, it’s vital to include sperm health in the picture.
With some plans – and it starts with Medicare (CMS) – there is a payment protocol that may be referred to as a multi-therapy discount, but its official name is the multiple-procedure payment reduction (MPPR). If a health care provider performs multiple procedures during a single patient encounter, Medicare (and many commercial insurers) typically will pay “full price” for only the highest-valued procedure.
Our team of authors offer this paper (and this descriptive AT series) as a support for you as a professional, practitioner and member of the acupuncture community at large. We hope that it will serve to further the needs of acupuncturists everywhere and also act as a guide for those wishing to learn about Acupuncture Medicine – patients, healthcare decision makers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
