PQRS Reporting

Do you understand your PQRS financial risk?

Successful reporting doesn’t just satisfy 2015 reporting requirements but will also help you to avoid fast approaching PQRS and Value-Based Modifier penalties.

Value Modifier Penalty for 2015 PQRS Nonreporters

• Groups with 2-9 Eligible Professionals (EPs) and solo practitioners: automatic -2.0% of Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) downward adjustment

• Groups with 10+ EPs: Automatic -4.0% of MPFS downward adjustment

Quality-Tiering for Successful 2015 PQRS Reporters

• Groups with 2-9 EPs and solo practitioners: Upward or neutral value modifier adjustment only based on quality-tiering (+0.0% to +2.0x of MPFS)

• Groups with 10+ EPs: Upward, neutral, or downward value modifier adjustment based on quality-tiering (up to -4.0% to or +4.0x of MPFS)

Eligible professionals have several options to participate in annual PQRS reporting to avoid PQRS and VBM automatic penalties, including Measures Groups, Individual Measures, and Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) reporting for practices reporting through the GPRO.

Don’t know where to begin? The PQRSwizard, a CHEST-affiliated product, can help. The PQRSwizard is a fast, convenient, and cost-effective online tool to help collect and report quality measure data for the CMS PQRS incentive payment program. Similar to online tax preparation software, the PQRSwizard helps guide you through a few easy steps to help rapidly collect, validate, report, and submit the results to CMS for payment.
