Getting Started With PQRI Reporting
-
Decide which reporting method is best suited for your practice:
Claim-Based
Measure Group
Registry
-
Decide if you are going to report for the whole year or for 6 months (July 1 – December 31, 2009).
Whole year reporting successfully = 2% bonus incentive will be based on a whole year of the allowable 2009 Medicare Part B Fee for Service with no cap
Six months reporting successfully = 2% bonus incentive will be based on 6 months of the allowable 2009 Medicare Part B Fee For Service with no cap
-
Inform your billing staff which method your practice will be using.
-
Make sure all super bills and charge slips reflect the new PQRI codes.
-
Start reporting as soon as possible to ensure that your practice will meet the goal of whichever reporting option you choose.
No registration is needed - a practice can participate in PQRI as long as the physician is a participating Medicare provider.
