Overview of Today’s Webinar
Participants will be able to:
1. Appreciate the timelines and implications for valuebased payment.
2. Understand why it’s important to participate in PQRS.
3. Begin to understand the value-based modifier.
4. Describe the options and methods for successful
participation in PQRS in 2013.
5. Determine the best way for you and your practice to
participate in PQRS in 2013.
2
Timelines and Implications
for Value-Based Payment
Background
 Since 2006, Legislation has called for value-based purchasing
(VBP) to transform Medicare from a passive payer to an active
purchaser by using specific performance measures aimed at
improving quality and reducing overall cost.
 Value-based purchasing involves three major elements for
physicians:
Confidential feedback on performance and resource use
Public Reporting
Payment adjustment /value modifier
4
Confidential Feedback on
Performance and Resource Use
Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs) provide comparative
information so physicians can view the clinical care their patients
receive in relation to the average care and costs of other
physician’s Medicare patients:
 Physicians in IA, KS, MO, NE received them in March 2012
using 2010 data;
 Physicians in groups with > 25 eligible professionals (EPs)
in CA, IA, IL, KS, MI, MN, MO,NE, WI will receive them in
December 2012 using 2011 data;
 All groups with > 25 EPs will receive them in Fall 2013
using 2012 data; VBM information is expected to be
included in the reports.
5
Public Reporting
Physician Compare is a CMS website for publicly reporting
physician performance; similar to Hospital Compare
 Physician Compare currently reports:
That a physician has satisfactorily reported quality measures
through PQRS
That a physician received a bonus for electronic prescribing
 Physician Compare will publicly report data on those physician
groups that participated in PQRS using the GPRO web
interface in 2012
 CMS has not yet announced full details of future expansion of
this program, but expect to see PQRS performance and cost
measures in the future.
6
Payment Adjustment / Value Modifier
CMS is phasing in the use of value-based modifiers
(VBM) to provide differential payments based on
quality and cost of care.
The QRUR is intended as a precursor to the VBM and
currently includes cost of care measures for patients
seen by the physician and quality information
calculated using claims data and from PQRS.
For further information on the QRUR, go to:
http://www.cardiosource.org/~/media/Files/Advocacy/Physician%20Payment/CMSQu
alityandResourceUseReportsandImplicationsforValueBasedPayment.ashx
7
In the Meantime
Think about physicians and other eligible
professionals as the supply side of value-based
purchasing; your fee-for-service is subject to valuebased payment
Participation in CMS incentive programs (PQRS, e-Rx,
Meaningful Use) has been voluntary;
CMS has begun phasing in payment adjustments for
non-participation .
8
Payment adjustments for PQRS are moving from bonuses for
successful participation to penalties for non-participation.

What Does It All Mean?
It will be important to understand how the valuebased modifier is calculated:

Quality and cost data will inform the VBM
It will be important to participate in PQRS:
 There will be payment and performance ranking
implications for non-participation
13
Value-Based Payment Modifier
 In 2015, Medicare will begin providing differential
payments to physicians based on quality and cost of
care:
 Services provided during 2013 will be used to
calculate the 2015 modifier;
 In 2015, the modifier will apply to payment for items
and services provided by physicians in groups of 100
or more EPs ;
 The modifier is expected to be phased in over a 2year period with full implementation in 2017.
14
Measures will be weighted equally within each domain;
Domains will be weighted equally to form composites;
Where a group does not report measures in a particular domain,
the remaining domains will be weighted equally.
15
Quality Domain: PQRS Measure Examples
Clinical Care
CAD: Lipid Control
Patient Experience--CG-CAHPS Measures
Getting timely care, appointments and information
How well your doctors communicate
Patient Safety
Medication Reconciliation
Care Coordination
Advance Care Plan
Efficiency
Cardiac Stress Imaging: Not Meeting Appropriate Use Criteria: PreOperative Evaluation in Low-Risk Surgery Patients
16
VBM Implementation
 Groups of 100 or more EPs will receive an additional
payment adjustment of -1% in 2015 if they do not
participate as a group in PQRS in 2013.
 If they successfully participate in PQRS as a group in 2013,
they can opt-in to participate in quality tiering using the
VBM to receive a payment adjustment in 2015 based on the
quality and cost of care they provided in 2013.
 These payment adjustments will range from -1% to as high
as ~3% in 2015.
 Although CMS is starting with a limited set of physicians for
this program in 2015, the law requires them to expand the
program to all physicians by 2017.
