Congratulations to APTA Alaska members who helped achieve significant progress in addressing MPPR policies. Following advocacy by PTs, patients, and chapter leaders across Alaska, @premera has paused implementation of its planned MPPR policy for outpatient therapy services.
APTA logo at the top. Text reads: "APTA Alaska Advocacy Leads to MPPR Delay. Strong advocacy from APTA Alaska members has led to Premera Blue Cross pausing the implementation of its planned Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction, or MPPR, policy for outpatient therapy services." Blue and gray design elements are present.

The image contains an announcement from Premera Blue Cross, dated Nov. 2, regarding the "Always Therapy Multiple Procedure Reduction" policy. It states that the policy will not take effect on December 4, 2026, due to feedback from physical therapy providers and clinicians. The announcement, bordered with blue, includes the logo of APTA at the top.

The 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule includes meaningful progress, featuring changes to practice expense calculations that should improve payment for many PT services over time. But Medicare also finalized conversion factor reductions, and RTM provisions bring mixed results.
