Lower pay, difficult negotiations with insurance companies, regulatory requirements from both government and commercial payers, expensive and inefficient IT systems, and the challenge of competing against hospital systems have created a “cascade of problems that seem like they are almost insurmountable” for independent practices, said Paul Berggreen, a gastroenterologist at Arizona Digestive Health.

Berggreen is joining with other doctors to start a lobbying group for private practices, the brand-new American Independent Medical Practice Association, or AIMPA, to fight against those problems and advocate for private practice physicians.
