2012 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) Program Reminder

It is not too late to start participating in the 2012 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and potentially qualify to receive an incentive payment equal to 0.5% of an eligible professional's total Medicare Part B allowed charges for services furnished during the reporting period.  A new six-month reporting period using the registry submission option began on July 1, 2012.  In addition, there are still ways to participate in the 12-month reporting period using claims, registry or EHR submission. For additional information, see the "Deadlines and Reminders" section of AOA website PQRS page.
