Deadline approaching for new PQRS requirements

The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) reporting regulations are changing.

The 2012 reporting year will be the last year to participate in PQRS and receive an incentive payment of 0.5% of the total allowed charges for Physician Fee Schedule covered services, without risk of penalty. The deadline for report submission is March 14, 2013.

The PQRIwizard is an online tool, similar to tax preparation software, designed to help physicians and other eligible professionals quickly and easily participate in the PQRS requirements. ACP members can purchase the PQRIwizard at a discounted rate. More information on the fee schedule is available online, as is information on the PQRIwizard.
