Livingston, NJ (August 02, 2007) –
meridianEMR’s newest release of its clinical content includes reporting and coding assistance for Medicare’s new PQRI (Physicians Quality Reporting Initiative).
On December 20, 2006 the President signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA). Section 101 under Title I authorizes the establishment of a physician quality reporting system by CMS. CMS has titled the statutory program the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI).
PQRI establishes a financial incentive for eligible professionals to participate in a voluntary quality reporting program. Eligible professionals who successfully report a designated set of quality measures on claims for dates of service from July 1 to December 31, 2007, may earn a bonus payment, subject to a cap, of 1.5% of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician fee schedule services.
meridianEMR’s clinical content now includes the ability to document the specific covered services under PQRI and to assist in the reporting of the correct CPT codes that are required.
