Confidential Feedback Reports

80 – Confidential Feedback Reports (Rev. 10, Issued: 07-27-12, Effective: 10-29-12, Implementation: 10-29-12) CMS provides confidential feedback reports to participating eligible professionals for a particular program year on or about the time that the lump sum incentive payments are made for the program year. For example, eligible professionals who participate in the 2009 eRx Incentive Program can expect to receive confidential feedback reports with respect to the 2009 program year after the 2009 incentive payments are made in 2010. Access to confidential feedback reports may require eligible professionals to complete an identity-verification process. Receipt of a report is not a requirement for participation in the eRx Incentive Program or to receive an incentive payment. To receive a feedback report the eligible professional must have had at least one valid eRx measure submission. A valid submission is defined as receipt by CMS of the correct numerator, denominator, age and gender (where applicable) as listed in the eRx measure specifications. The eRx measure specifications are subject to change for each program year. The eRx measure specifications for the current or an upcoming program year, as well as those for prior program years are posted or archived on the CMS eRx Incentive Program website at http://www.cms.gov/ERXincentive.
