25 Clinical Data Registry New Qualified Clinical Data Registry These specialty societies can report up to 20 non-pqrs measures as approved A QCDR is different from a qualified registry in that it is not limited to measures within PQRS - Measures used by boards or specialty societies, and -Measures used in regional quality collaborations -CG CAHPS-Clinician & Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems 25
26 Clinical Data Registry Examples of Clinical Registries Asthma Anesthesia Cardiology Metabolic and Bariatric Radiology Urological Surgery Rheumatology Osteoporosis Gastroenterology Renal Surgery Thoracic Surgeons Oncology Wound Care 26

MAV Measure-Applicability Validation Eligible Professionals or Groups who satisfactorily report on fewer than 9 PQRS measures and/or fewer than 3 domains will be subject to the MAV Process The MAV Process determines if additional measures or measures in other domains should have been submitted to be considered for incentive eligibility All EPs and Groups that have submitted PQRS via claims or registry could be subject to MAV 29
30 Individual vs Group PQRS Reporting PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) A group practice under 2014 PQRS consists of a physician group practice, as defined by a single Tax Identification Number (TIN), with 2 or more individual EPs, as identified by individual National Provider Identifier or NPI 30

35 VBPM Quality Tier Approach in 2014 In 2015 each group receives two composite scores (quality of care and cost of care), based on the group s standardized performance (e.g. how far away from the national mean). This approach identifies statistically significant outliers and assigns them to their respective cost and quality tiers. Eligible for an additional +1.0% Incentive if: Reporting quality measures via the web based interface or registries AND Average beneficiary risk score in the top 25% of all beneficiary risk scores 35
36 Composite Score VBPM Program Composite Quality Score based on reported PQRS data Composite Cost Score Total Cost for the Medicare Beneficiary under Part A and Part B programs Composite Risk Score Assigned Patient Panel with risk scoring (above the 75% qualifies for additional incentive payments) 36
