Physician Quality Reporting System Measures

60 – Physician Quality Reporting System Measures (Rev. 10, Issued: 07-27-12, Effective: 10-29-12, Implementation: 10-29-12) To qualify to earn the Physician Quality Reporting System incentive payment, an eligible professional must report data on quality measures. Beginning with the 2008 Physician Quality Reporting System, eligible professionals have the option of reporting data on individual quality measures or on measures groups. Physician Quality Reporting System measures groups are created by CMS by grouping 4 or more Physician Quality Reporting System measures that have a clinical condition or focus in common. The Physician Quality Reporting System measures that comprise a measures group share a common denominator specification and therefore differ in their specifications from that of individual measures.
