Claims Based Reporting
• Medicare providers submit claims (via CMS-1500
Form) for reimbursement on payable services
rendered to Part B beneficiaries
• Eligible professionals use their individual NPI to
submit for services on Medicare Part B
beneficiaries
• Standardized reporting codes
Provider documents Quality Data Codes (QDC) on
claim
20
How to Start Claims-Based Reporting
• Select measures most applicable to your practice (see
Measures List and Measures Specifications Manual)
• No registration is required, simply bill as you normally
would on the CMS-1500 form (or electronic equivalent)
• Add the applicable code for the measures you have
selected, Medicare Part B claims
• If you are using an EHR, speak to vendor about
functionality around claims submission
21
Claims Based Example
Pneumonia Vaccination Example PQRS #111
DENOMINATOR:
Patients 65 years of age and older with a visit during the
measurement period (E&M code)
NUMERATOR:
CPT II Code 4040F: Pneumococcal vaccine administered or
previously received
OR
CPT II Code 4040F8P: Pneumococcal vaccine was not administered
or previously received, reason not otherwise specified

3rd Party Registry Reporting
• What is a registry?
o Entity that captures and stores clinically related data
o Submits on behalf of providers (cost $250-$500)
o Some offer data mining tools (additional charge)
• PQRS “Participating” registries are updated
annually
• Data on applicable beneficiaries is reported to
registry via secure portal manually, data mining
software, or through EHR vendor
24
Clinical Data Registry
New Qualified Clinical Data Registry
• These specialty societies can report up to 20 non-PQRS
measures as approved
•
A QCDR is different from a qualified registry in that it is
not limited to measures within PQRS
- Measures used by boards or specialty societies, and
-Measures used in regional quality collaborations
-CG CAHPS-Clinician & Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems

Clinical Data Registry
Examples of Clinical Registries
Asthma
Anesthesia
Cardiology
Metabolic and Bariatric
Radiology
Urological Surgery
Rheumatology
Osteoporosis
Gastroenterology
Renal
Surgery
Thoracic Surgeons
Oncology
Wound Care
26
EHR Direct Reporting
• Report on ≥ 9 PQRS quality measures for 2015
calendar year using qualified EHR Vendors
– eMDs, Aprima, Success EHS, Vitera,
• Practice submits measures to CMS via secure portal
– IACS (Individual Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services)
27
Data Submission Vendor
• EHRs that are 2014 CEHRT must have the
capability to do CQM reporting for MU and PQRS
– NextGen, Greenway, eCW, Athena, Allscripts
• PQRS measures are pulled from the EHR - they
are not pulled from claims data or the PMS
(billing system)
28
What if I can’t find 9 Applicable Measures?
MAV
Measure-Applicability Validation
• Eligible Professionals or Groups who satisfactorily report
on fewer than 9 PQRS measures and/or fewer than 3
domains will be subject to the MAV Process
• The MAV Process determines if additional measures or
measures in other domains should have been submitted
to be considered for incentive eligibility
• All EPs and Groups that have submitted PQRS via claims
or registry could be subject to MAV
29
Individual vs Group PQRS Reporting
PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO)
• A “group practice” under 2014 PQRS consists of a
physician group practice, as defined by a single
Tax Identification Number (TIN), with 2 or more
individual EPs, as identified by individual National
Provider Identifier or NPI
30
GPRO PQRS Reporting 2015
Practices must register to participate in PQRS through the
GPRO
Registration will be held April 1 - June 30, 2015
Registration is completed through the Physician
Value (PV)-PQRS registration system:
http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service
Payment/PhysicianFeedbackProgram/Self-NominationRegistration.html
31
PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option
(GPRO)
• Determine Reporting Method
• Group practices will need to determine the best reporting
method for the group.
• Groups 2+
Qualified Registry – 3rd party (not clinical)
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Direct Reporting
Data Submission Vendor
GPRO Web Interface Reporting (all 19 measures)
32
PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option
(GPRO)
• One TIN/Individual EP NPIs
• Agree to have the results on performance of their
PQRS measures publicly posted on the Physician
Compare Website
• Once you sign up as a group you cannot change
your mind
33
PQRS and Maintenance of Certification
Additional 0.5% Incentive Payment
Satisfactory PQRS Submission
AND
More Frequent participation and reports to MoC program
Information on the survey of patient’s experience, MoC
methods, measures and data for practice assessment
34
VBPM
Quality Tier Approach in 2014
• In 2015 each group receives two composite scores (quality
of care and cost of care), based on the group’s
standardized performance (e.g. how far away from the
national mean). This approach identifies statistically
significant outliers and assigns them to their respective
cost and quality tiers.
• Eligible for an additional +1.0% Incentive if: Reporting
quality measures via the web based interface or registries
AND −Average beneficiary risk score in the top 25% of all
beneficiary risk scores
35
Composite Score – VBPM Program
• Composite Quality Score – based on reported
PQRS data
• Composite Cost Score – Total Cost for the
Medicare Beneficiary under Part A and Part B
programs
• Composite Risk Score – Assigned Patient Panel
with risk scoring (above the 75% qualifies for
additional incentive payments)
36
Composite Score – VBPM Program
• Total per capita costs for beneficiaries with 4 chronic
conditions:
 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
 Heart Failure
 Coronary Artery Disease
 Diabetes
• All Cause 30 Day Hospital Readmission
