Registry Reporting
Free PQRI Registry
"Healthcare providers who used a registry for 2008 PQRI reporting had a higher success rate than those who used claims-based reporting."
- Dr. Daniel Green, MD, FACOG, Chief Medical Officer, Quality Measurement Health Assessment Group, Office of Clinical Standards and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Registry reporting is a simple process; no PQRI information is submitted on the 1500 Claim Form. EHealth Made Easy LLC will submit all your Registry PQRI data to Medicare after December 31, 2009.
A healthcare provider can choose to report on 1 or more of 7 Measure Groups for 30 or more consecutive patients, only two of which must be Medicare Part B Fee for Service patients. The 2% bonus is retroactive to January 1, 2009.
Alternatively, the healthcare provider can choose to report on 80% of eligible Medicare Part B Fee for Service patients for a Measure Group seen between July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. The PQRI Bonus is 2% only for the half-year period.
Additionally, an eligible healthcare provider can choose to report on 3 or more individual measures but the 2% bonus payment period begins July 1, 2009.
