Achieving 100% physician quality reporting compliance

 

BACKGROUND

Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) is a quality reporting program that encourages individual eligible professional (EPs) and group practices to report information on the quality of care to Medicare. While Medicare provided incentives until 2014 for PQRS compliance, the entity started penalizing doctors if they failed to comply 2015 onwards. Naturally, physicians were overwhelmed trying to figure a seamless way to stay compliant with Medicare.

WHAT WE DID

We educated clients what PQRS requirements were. We analyzed their billing patterns and helped them select relevant measures that suited their specialty. On instances where we couldn’t find suitable measures, we coordinated with the PQRS help desk to help our client select appropriate measures. We worked with third-party software systems (where applicable) to automate PQRS submissions.

OUTCOMES

All our participating clients achieved 100% PQRS compliance.
