We Need You to Participate in a Survey! The NSMA has prepared a survey to determine whether physician practices
are experiencing difficulties submitting electronic claims to the various

physician practices are submitting paper claims and whether the electronic
claim submission process is halted as a result of their clearinghouse. The
