Premera pauses Always Therapy Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction

Premera has paused implementation of its Always Therapy Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction (MPPR) policy while we take additional time to listen to provider feedback, gather information, and further evaluate the potential impacts.

Physical therapy providers and other clinicians have raised questions and concerns about how the policy could affect their practices, patients, and communities. During the pause, Premera will continue engaging with providers and reviewing the broader market landscape to better understand the potential impacts of the policy.

Once a decision is reached, providers will receive at least 90 days’ notice before any implementation.
