Reporting on the 2007 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) Begins!
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to announce that reporting for the 2007 PQRI on claims for dates of service as of July 1, 2007, has begun. Eligible professionals can now start participating in the PQRI by simply reporting the appropriate quality measure data on claims submitted to their Medicare claims processing contractor.
Remember, all your informational needs can be met by visiting the PQRI Website at, http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PQRI 
. Here you will find educational resources, including the PQRI Tool Kit, and links to our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
CMS also announced the proposed rule that would establish new policies and payment rates for physicians and other providers who are paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule. Included in the proposed rule is important information directly related to 2008 PQRI. To view or download the proposed rule, visit http://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/physician.asp, click on "CMS-1385-P," then go to page 402 of the document.
