subject: Doctors not participating? Don't Scrap PQRI [print this page] Doctors not participating? Don't Scrap PQRI Doctors are ready about participating in Physician Quality Reporting Incentive (PQRI) except one or two holdouts that are uncertain about the program; you can still go ahead and participate minus those practitioners. Urology coding, coding updates, code descriptors, CCI edits, fee schedule, coding updates If your doctors are ready about participating in Physician Quality Reporting Incentive (PQRI) except one or two holdouts who are uncertain about the program, you can still go ahead and participate minus those practitioners. And that is the word according to a CMS-sponsored PQRI conference call.
Bottom line: Say for instance your practice employs four urologists, three of whom are happily plugging along with the program, and one who's not interested in participating. You can still collect PQRI bonuses for the three who take part.
Be on the lookout for upcoming bonuses
CMS officials addressed the fact that many practices are keen to get their bonus payments for the year 2009.
You can report initial measures group twice
CMS reps also drived out confusion during the call regarding whether you must report measures groups consecutively and fortunately, the answer was that you need not do so.
Know big practice specs: If your practice has 25 residents and 12 faculty doctors tending to patients, you still only report to PQRI per-physician.

Onboard such a site, you'll get coding & billing tips, code descriptors, CCI edits, fee schedule, coding updates and lots more! Such a site does not cost your pocket dear too.
