PQRI = 1.5% Bonus Payment
PQRI is the “Physicians Quality Reporting Initiative,” formerly known as the “Physician Voluntary Reporting Program” (PVRP). The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 mandated the establishment of a physician quality reporting system and authorized a payment incentive for voluntary participation through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

All edgeMED software is PQRI compatible. While CMS is required by law to establish the program, physicians are not required to participate in the program. However, physicians who do participate are eligible for a bonus payment subject to a cap of 1.5% of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician fee schedule services.

No enrollment is required in the program in order to participate. Provider’s can participate by reporting the appropriate quality measure data on claims submitted to their Medicare claims processing contractor. For detailed information, please visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services web site by selecting PQRI.
