PQRS 2014
How to use Falcon Physician to meet the measures | August 2014
What is PQRS?
Physician Quality Reporting System
A reporting program, mandated by federal
legislation, that uses a combination of incentive
payments and payment adjustments to promote
reporting of quality information by eligible
professionals.
Who Needs to Report
Do I need to report PQRS for 2014?
Yes – all physicians/ eligible providers need to report PQRS in 2014 to
avoid a penalty in 2016 and beyond.
***If you report and do not qualify for an incentive – reporting three
measure will prevent incurring a penalty.
***Falcon will report for ALL physicians to ensure they will not incur a
penalty. (Based on the return of the PQRS consent form which will be
distributed in late 2014).
Eligible providers report separately….individually through the registry
method. Just as they do for Meaningful Use.
Incentive or Penalty
What do I Get?
Incentive $ = 0.5% of Medicare
allowed charges.
What If I Do Not Report for 2014?
Penalty for 2016: Is a payment adjustment = 2%
The Measures
What are the PQRS Measures?
Falcon has chosen a small number of measures that are applicable
to Nephrologists AND made it easy for you to report directly on the
Superbill under the Quality Measures button.
Falcon Physician is a certified Registry for reporting PQRS so we will
be pulling the data from Falcon at the end of the year and reporting
the measures through our registry for each provider that consents
to the submission of their data and qualifies.
Reporting Individual Measures
At the end of the year, report either:
Minimum of 9 of the Individual measures for 1 Yr (1/1/14-12/31/14)
Minimum to report = 50% of Medicare Part B patients (primary or secondary)
Earn Incentive $ = .5% of 1 yr of Medicare FFS
Individual Measures (Report 9):
#1 Diabetes Mellitus: Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control in Diabetes Mellitus (Checkbox on Superbill)
#2 Diabetes Mellitus: LDL-C Control in Diabetes Mellitus (CQM NQF #64) (Checkbox on Superbill)
#110 Preventive Care and Screening: Influenza Immunization (Checkbox on Superbill)
#111 Pneumonia vaccine 65+ (Checkbox on Superbill)
#121 Adult Kidney Disease: Laboratory Testing (Lipid Profile) (Checkbox on Superbill)
#122 Adult Kidney Disease: Blood Pressure Management (CQM NQF #61) (Checkbox on Superbill)
#123 Adult Kidney Disease: Patients on ESA – Hgb Level > 12.0 g/dL (Checkbox on Superbill)
#128 Preventive Care and Screening: BMI Screening and Follow-up (CQM NQF #421) (Checkbox
on Superbill)
#130 Documentation of Meds (NQF#0419) (Checkbox on Superbill)
#226 Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening & Cessation Intervention (CQM NQF
#28)
#236 Hypertension: BP Management (NQF#18) (Checkbox on Superbill)
#317 High BP Screening (NQF#TBD) (Checkbox on Superbill)
Reporting Group Measures
All of the CKD Group Measures for 1 Yr or 6 months
Minimum to report = 20 unique patients (primary or secondary)
Earn Incentive $ = .5% of 1 yr or 6 months of Medicare FFS
Measures we selected do not include Dialysis E & M codes so Dialysis patients seen IN CENTER are not included for PQRS
Measures in Falcon.
Participating eligible professional must report on all applicable measures within the selected measures group for a minimum
sample of 20 unique patients, a majority (11) of which must be Medicare Part B FFS patients, who meet patient sample criteria for
the measures group. If the eligible professional does not have at least 20 unique patients who meet patient sample criteria for the
measures group, the eligible professional will need to choose another reporting option.
All applicable measures within the group must be reported at least once for each patient within the sample population seen by the
eligible professional during the reporting period (January 1 through December 31, 2014 OR July 1 through December 31, 2014) for
each of the 20 unique patients

#130 Documentation of Meds
#226 Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation
Intervention
#236 Hypertension: BP Management
#317 High BP Screening
Individual Measures – how many?
50% of Medicare Part B patients need to be reported
for each measure.
You can check the denominators and numerators for each measure in
your Quality Scorecard.
To meet the incentive you will need to meet 9 individual measures
across 3 domains.
In order to avoid the penalty you will need to submit on 3 valid
measures displaying at least one Medicare Part B patient.
Use the Medicare Part B report in Falcon to ensure you have least one
Medicare B patient in a Measure.

Criteria for CKD Group Measures
Whether you are reporting for the 1-year period or the 6-Month period you will
report on a minimum of 20 unique sample patients - of which only 11 have to
Medicare part B. (20 patients in the denominator of each measure will be the same
patients).
All applicable measures within the group must be reported at least once for each
patient within the sample population seen by the eligible professional during the
reporting period (January 1 through December 31, 2014 OR July 1 through December
31, 2014) for each of the 20 unique patients

SummaryWhat to do in Falcon to
meet PQRS
What do I need to do for Falcon
to capture the measures?
• Marking Medicare Part B patients in demographics – THIS IS CRUCIAL.
• Click on checkboxes in SUPERBILL that are applicable to patient
• Pertinent Labs test results can be entered into Falcon as structured data
either through an interface or manually entered into Results Inquiry in order to
meet some of the measures.
• Entering Diabetes ICD code and CKD ICD codes on the problem list (when
applicable)
• Entering vitals – some measures need BP and BMI
•Document Plan of Care when required.
• If not using Superbill, you must put the appropriate CPT codes for the
measures IN THE ENCOUNTER in the procedures section so they are
captured for reporting.

How do I report PQRS for 2014
Falcon makes it easy!
Falcon is Certified Registry to report PQRS measures to CMS
Falcon lists the measures on the superbill in easy to use checkboxes
Review your Medicare Part B patients by Drilling down on the measure
name on the quality score card
You may run the Medicare Part B report in Falcon under Reports.
Falcon will pull and submit data at the beginning of 2015 via the registry
method
Please return you 2014 PQRS consent forms later this year.
Please look for future communication.
MOCP and Feedback Reports
Maintenance of Certification Program
In 2014, EPs have the opportunity to earn the PQRS incentive and an additional incentive of 0.5% by working with a Maintenance of
Certification entity. Here is what is required:
Satisfactorily submitting data, without regard to method, on quality measures under PQRS, for a 12-month reporting period either as an
individual physician or as a member of a selected group practice
AND
More frequently than is required to qualify for or maintain board certification:
Participate in a Maintenance of Certification Program and
Successfully complete a qualified Maintenance of Certification Program practice assessment.
Feedback Reports
EPs who report PQRS quality measures data can request to receive National Provider Identifier (NPI)-level Physician Quality Reporting
Feedback Reports.
The reports include information on reporting rates, clinical performance, and incentives earned by participating individual professionals,
with summary information on reporting success and incentives earned at the practice level. The feedback reports can be accessed through
the Web portal in the fall of the year following the reporting (e.g. 2013 feedback reports will be available in the fall of 2014).
