Why Registry? 2010 Success Rate: 91% * Submit 2012 data right up until the CMS deadline in March 2013 (no need to track claims throughout the year) Higher potential for meeting reporting criteria and receiving bonus payment Measures and measure groups updated automatically each year as information is provided by CMS, which keeps staff from having to become measure experts 2010 Success Rate: 57% * Must have someone in the clinic who “owns” PQRS: complete audits, know all the ins/outs, keep record of the % completed, etc. Auditing process can be tedious and potentially a productivity loss, especially if you have a large Medicare patient population Must complete and submit proper forms in proper format for eligible patients No internal automated check/ balance system provided by billing company: submits only what you give them Registry-BasedClaims-Based *Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2010 PQRS Reporting Experience, February 2012
