PQRS payment adjustment review period underway
Eligible professionals and group practices participating in the Physician Quality Reporting System who believe they were incorrectly assessed a negative payment adjustment for 2016 may ask CMS to review their adjustment determination through Nov. 9 by submitting an informal review request at the quality reporting portal. Review decisions are final and should be received within 90 days. Individual EPs, Comprehensive Primary Care practice sites and group practices participating in PQRS must satisfactorily report quality data for covered professional services in 2014 to avoid a 2% payment reduction in 2016 and receive a 2014 PQRS incentive payment. For more information, visit www.cms.gov or see the CMS factsheet.
