How is the 2% incentive calculated? Does anybody know what the definition of “covered professional services” is? I’ve been told it means all Medicare allowed charges, pro fees only, professional charges excluding ancillary services but including certain modifiers, etc.
2010 PQRI. To participate in the 2010 PQRI, individual EPs may choose to report information on individual PQRI quality measures or measures groups: (1) to CMS on their Medicare Part B claims, (2) to a qualified PQRI registry, or (3) to CMS via a qualified electronic health record (EHR) product. Individual EPs who meet the criteria for satisfactory submission of PQRI quality measures data via one of the reporting mechanisms above for services furnished during a 2010 PQRI reporting period will qualify to earn a PQRI incentive payment equal to 2.0% of their total estimated Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) allowed charges for covered professional services furnished during that same reporting period.
