When do the doctors get their Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) money in 2009? Do we have to file anything?
Eligible professionals (EPs) who satisfactorily report quality measures data for services furnished January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009, will earn a single consolidated incentive payment in mid-2010. The incentive payment will be 2.0% of estimated total allowed charges for covered Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule services provided January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. Incentive payments will be paid to the taxpayer identification number (TIN) under which the incentive-earning professional submitted PQRI claims. See the PQRI Web site (www.cms.hhs.gov/pqri), Analysis/Payment section. EPs who qualify for the incentive do not need to file any paperwork to receive the earned incentive. The incentive payment will be sent by the carrier to the entity holding the TIN. Information about how to access 2009 PQRI Feedback Reports will be posted on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Web site by mid-year. Q: eRx performance: I noticed that Rx refills are excluded
