What happens if only one eligible professional in a group practice submits data for PQRI?
CMS must use the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) as the billing unit for the 2007 PQRI, so any bonuses earned will be paid to the TIN holder of record. Though the analysis of satisfactory reporting will be performed at the individual eligible professional level using individual-level NPI data, bonuses will paid to the holder of the TIN, aggregating individual bonuses for groups that bill under one TIN.
