CMS: 2007 PQRI feedback reports now available

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has released the 2007 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative final feedback reports through its Web site. Individual professionals and group practices who reported PQRI quality measures data to Medicare can find more information on accessing the reports through two MLN Matters articles: “Steps for Individual Eligible Professionals to Access Their 2007 PQRI Feedback Reports Personally” and “Steps for Organizations to Access Their 2007 PQRI Feedback Reports.”

Physicians must be registered in the Individuals Authorized Access to CMS Computer Services (IACS) system to have access to the PQRI feedback report application. In the five-step process, steps one through four involve registration in this system. If you are already approved in the IACS system, go directly to access the 2007 report at https://www.qualitynet.org/portal/server.pt.

Contact the Report Delivery System Help Desk referenced at the end of the MLN Matters articles with questions or feedback. Access additional educational resources and information about the PQRI program at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PQRI.
