PQRS Experience Report | Physician Quality Reporting System
Share

As of January 1st, 2017, the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) ended and gave way to the Quality category under the new Quality Payment Program. Attestation for PQRS was accepted until March 31st, 2017. Any penalty or payment incurred under that program will be in effect throughout 2018. At this time, the 2016 reporting penalties will be put into action, where applicable, and reporting stats will be released.

Recently, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the statistics for the 2015 PQRS reporting year, commonly referred to as the PQRS Experience Report. Most notably outlined in this report are the participation rates under this particular reporting system. These rates were up 14% in 2015 in comparison to the 2014 reporting year.

In this report, you will also find past eligibility, participation information, and historical incentives and adjustments. Are interested in learning more about the performance of your peers?  You can also find a breakdown of performance by both specialty and state.
