CMS is committed to transforming Medicare to a purchaser of quality based services, rather than a passive fee-for-service payer. How are they doing this? In the near future, through their PQRI and e-Prescribing incentive payments for reporting. If your practice is not currently participating in these pay for reporting programs, it's time to start. Plan now so that you are ready to report Jan 1 2010 and will be eligible for the incentive payments that go with these programs: 2% for e-Prescribing and 2% for PQRI

If your practice is reporting on PQRI measures and participating in e-Prescribing you are eligible for incentive payments. But with more reporting options and alternative reporting periods, it is even more confusing. Let us tell you how to get started!
In 2009, practices are eligible for a 2% incentive payment for successfully reporting on PQRI and 2% of using and reporting the use of a qualified e-Prescribing program.
CMS will publicly report on their web site in 2010 the names of physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners who successfully report PQRI in 2009.
AND CMS will penalize practices that do not use a qualified e-Prescribing system.
With more reporting options and alternative reporting periods, it is even more confusing. In 90-minutes, Betsy Nicoletti will give you the roadmap on how to get started.
What Betsy will cover for e-prescribing:
How does e-Prescribing work
What are the criteria of a qualified e-Prescribing system
What does the physician do when prescribing controlled substances or when the patient demands a paper prescription
How do you report that you use a qualified e-Prescribing system
And for PQRI, Betsy will answer these and more questions:
How to select measures to report
How to analyze a measure to know if you need to report once during the reporting period or each time the applicable service is provided
What resources on the CMS web site are essential to review and use
How to use the advice of your specialty society
If using a measures group is a better alternative for your practice
