Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians

What Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians does

The Florida Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (FSIPP) is a nonprofit professional medical society founded in 1999, serving as the state-level advocacy body for interventional pain physicians practicing in Florida. With over 250 active members, it is the largest pain society in the state and operates as an affiliated regional chapter of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP). FSIPP's mission is to promote safe, high-quality, cost-effective interventional pain management techniques including epidurals, RF ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and related procedures, while ensuring patient access to these treatments.

The organization's core activities revolve around legislative advocacy, regulatory monitoring, and member education. Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership dues from physician members, one-time registration fees for the annual conference and regional dinners, and voluntary donations to its Political Action Committee (FSIPP-PAC) processed through platforms like Givelify. FSIPP conducts advocacy at both state and national levels, successfully lobbying against adverse Medicare coverage decisions (notably retiring a proposed LCD on Nerve Stimulators by First Coast and Novitas) and supporting federal regulatory changes (DATA-Waiver elimination). The society maintains a presence in Tallahassee for legislative engagement and runs conferences, regional dinners, and educational programs like the PI-101 Bootcamp.

FSIPP distributes its services directly to physician members through its website (fsipp.org), the annual conference, regional dinners, and Tallahassee-based legislative functions. The organization has 7 employees and its administrative address is in Middletown, Ohio, while operational and advocacy activity is concentrated in Florida. As a nonprofit, it has no disclosed funding rounds, no products, and no technology platform; its value proposition is centered on collective advocacy leverage, networking, and continuing education rather than commercial offerings.

• First Coast and Novitas Medicare ContractorsminorOthersFSIPP led coalition efforts alongside ASIPP and other state societies to pressure First Coast and Novitas to retire a proposed Local Coverage Determination (LCD) on Nerve Stimulators for Chronic Intractable Pain. This was an adversarial relationship where FSIPP successfully advocated against the proposed coverage restrictions.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Florida Medical Association (FMA): Florida statewide medical society representing all physicians in the state. While broader than FSIPP, FMA shares the same Tallahassee legislative environment and overlapping advocacy issues (prior authorization, scope of practice, Medicare cuts).

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association (AMA): Largest U.S. physician membership organization with active state and federal advocacy. AMA's policy positions on prior authorization and Medicare payment shape the environment in which FSIPP operates and advocate.
• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA): Much larger national medical society whose anesthesiologist members frequently practice interventional pain. ASIPP/FSIPP frequently collaborate with ASA-aligned state associations (e.g., FSA) on legislative advocacy, creating overlap in physician membership and policy priorities.
• American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP): National parent organization of FSIPP and the umbrella body for interventional pain physicians across the U.S. Operates the Pain Physician journal, national advocacy, and continuing education that FSIPP relies on for credibility and resources.

Direct peers

• American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM): National multispecialty medical society for pain medicine physicians, including interventional pain specialists. Competes for the same physician membership pool, CME accreditation, and advocacy positioning at the federal level.
• Spine Intervention Society (SIS): International society focused on interventional spine procedures such as epidurals, RF ablation, transforaminals, vertebroplasty, and kyphoplasty — the exact procedural domains FSIPP explicitly monitors for LCD coverage decisions.
• North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS): Society focused on neuromodulation therapies including spinal cord stimulation — directly overlapping FSIPP's interventional pain scope (SCS, PNS) and competing for members who perform device-based pain procedures.
• California Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (CASIPP): Direct state-level peer — California state society for interventional pain physicians with the same membership, advocacy, and conference model as FSIPP. Most structurally and operationally analogous organization.
• Texas Pain Society: Texas state-level pain physician society offering membership, advocacy, and CME. Comparable scale and structure to FSIPP but serving a larger and geographically distinct physician base.

Emerging players

• International Painful Spine Foundation: Smaller specialty society focused on spine-related pain interventions. Operates in a narrower niche than FSIPP but shares its interventional pain physician membership and procedural scope.
