On December 20, 2006 President Bush signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 authorizing the establishment of a physician quality reporting system by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS titled the statutory program the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI).
PQRI establishes a financial incentive for physicians to participate in a voluntary quality reporting program. Those doctors who successfully report a designated set of quality measures on claims for dates of service from July 1 to December 31, 2007, may earn a bonus payment, subject to a cap, of 1.5% of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician fee schedule services.
If you would like to learn more about PQRI and how it could potentially impact your practice, please visit our PQRI web page.
