    EPs will have to report using the new 2014 criteria regardless of whether they are participating in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of the EHR Incentive Programs.

    All Medicare EPs have the option of submitting three months of CQM data online through the CMS registration and attestation system. Medicare EPs also have the option to submit a full year of data electronically using the QRDA format to receive credit for the EHR incentive Program and Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). Medicaid EPs must submit their clinical quality measurement data to their State

    Medicaid Agency

    Begining in 2014, EPs must select and report on 9 of a possible list of 64 approved CQMs for the EHR Incentive Programs. The 6 domains are:

    Patient and Family Engagement Patient Safety Care Coordination Population and Public Health Efficient Use of Health Care Resources Clinical Processes/ Effectiveness

  • Physician Qualitative Reporting System (PQRS)Quick Facts

    EHR * PM * Patient Portal * Direct Messaging * Secure Healthcare Messaging

    By submitting PQRS for year 2014, EPs can earn 0.5% incentive and avoid 2% adjustment for year 2016.

    All Measure Groups are reportable via Registry only, meaning EP can not submit Group PQRS measures via claims in 2014.

    For earning incentive and avoiding penalty, Total 9 individual measures out of 3 strategic national quality domain must be submitted for 50% of Medicare Part B and Railroad Medicare claims from Jan 1, 2014 to Dec 31, 2014.

    Just to avoid penalty, Report at least 3 measures covering 1 NQS domain for at least 50% of the EP's Medicare part B FFS Patients satisfactorily.

    PQRS data can be submitted via preferred methods of Claims, Stage 2 Certified EHR OR Registry. Refer PQRS guidelines by CMS for other reporting methods.

    CMS Strongly encourages all EPs and practices to begin billing 2014 QDC codes with a $0.01 charge.

    The RA/ EOB Denial code N365 is your indication that PQRS codes were received into the CMS National claims history (NCH) database.

  • PQRSHow to Report once or individual for 2014 Medicare

    Quality Programs Reporting (PQRS & CQM)?

    EHR * PM * Patient Portal * Direct Messaging * Secure Healthcare Messaging

    Eligible Professionals (EPs) have a choice to report one time during the 2014 program year in order to become incentive eligible for 2014 PQRS, avoid 2016 adjustment, and satisfy the Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) component of the EHR Incentive Program. Refer PQRS guidelines by CMS to check one time reporting options available to individual Eligible Professional and Group of 2 or more Eligible Professionals.

    To Report once and get qualified for PQRS and CQM incentive program, EP has to report at least 9 of the CQM out of 3 strategic National Quality Domain for entire year of 2014. EP will need IACS account to upload data files extracted from EHR CQM Reports. EPs will also have to attest for CQM at time of attestation using same report.

    To Report individual for PQRS and CQM, EP will have to follow CQM reporting for the same 90 day period of Meaningful Use and use data at time of attestation. For PQRS, EP can submit data via claim or qualified registry.
