1 Aligning PQRS with Meaningful Use CQMs in 2014 Tuesday, May 6, :00 Noon EDT Dial In: Meeting ID: No audio available through Webinar
2 2 Objectives Discuss benefits of aligning clinical quality measure reporting for Stage II Meaningful Use and Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) Discuss provider eligibility for aligning programs Discuss options for individual and group reporting Discuss reporting methods for aligning Clinical Quality Measure (CQM) reporting Discuss electronic CQMs (ecqms) and CQM domains
3 Benefits of Aligning PQRS with MU CQMs 3 In order to participate in the 2014 Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs and receive an incentive payment, providers are required to submit 2014 CQM data from certified EHR technology regardless of whether they are in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of meaningful use (MU) This alignment will assist eligible professionals (EPs) who demonstrate MU in 2014 to avoid PQRS penalties Groups greater than 10 EPs satisfy PQRS reporting requirements and avoid the automatic downward payment adjustment under PQRS and Value-Based Payment Modifier (VM)
4 4 Who Can Align the Programs? Available to EPs (individual and part of a group) who are beyond their first year of meaningful use PQRS EHR reporting option for MU is only available to EPs with EHRs certified to the June 2013 version of the ecqms o except for CMS140v1: Breast Cancer: Hormonal Therapy for Stage IC - IIIC Estrogen Receptor/Progesterone Receptor (ER/PR) Positive Breast Cancer where the EHR needs to be certified to the Dec 2012 version
5 Who Cannot Align the 5 Programs? EPs who are in their first year of MU in 2014, including those who are part of a group practice that is participating in the PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO), an Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organization (MSSP ACO), or a Pioneer ACO, need to report their CQMs via attestation by October 1, 2014 to avoid a Meaningful Use payment adjustment in 2015 EPs whose EHRs are not certified to the version of ecqm required by PQRS will still need to attest their CQMs for MU and select a different reporting method for PQRS reporting Certified systems must meet the 2014 certification requirements

7 Things to Take Into Consideration for Aligning 7 Individual or group reporting? Method of reporting for PQRS? What measures pertain to your practice? Do you have certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT) that is updated to 2014 certification standards? Do you want to report for a full year for MU CQMs? o MU core and menu objectives only require a three-month reporting period in 2014
8 8 Individual vs. Group Reporting EPs can choose to report both PQRS and MU CQMs as individuals or as part of a group for the first time in 2014 Definition of group: A single Tax Identification Number (TIN) with 2 or more individual EPs(as identified by Individual National Provider Identifier [NPI]) who have reassigned their billing rights to the TIN Once a group practice (via their TIN) has registered to participate in PQRS GPRO (no later than Sept. 30, 2014), the reporting method chosen by the group is the only PQRS submission method available to the group and all individual NPIs who bill Medicare under the group's TIN
9 Individual EPs: What Method of PQRS Reporting? 9 In the 2014 PQRS program, individual EPs have 4 ways to report measures Method of PQRS Reporting Individual Claims Qualified Registry Direct EHR product that is CEHRT OR- EHR Data Submission Vendor that is CEHRT Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) Cannot Align Programs Cannot Align Programs Can Align Programs Can Align Programs
10 Individual Reporting Criteria for Aligning 2014 PQRS with Meaningful Use CQMs 10 Direct EHR product that is CEHRT OR- EHR Data Submission Vendor that is CEHRT Individual Measures What Measure Type? Report 9 measures covering at least 3 of the National Quality Strategy (NQS) domains. If an EP's CEHRT does not contain patient data for at least 9 measures covering at least 3 domains, then the EP must report the measures for which there is Medicare patient data. An EP must report on at least 1 measure for which there is Medicare patient data.
11 11 Certification CMS & Office of National Coordinator (ONC) have established standards and certification criteria for structured data that EHRs must use in order to successfully capture and calculate objectives for Stage 2 of meaningful use These new standards and certification criteria will take effect in 2014 Even if you already have a certified EHR, you will have to adopt or upgrade to the new certification in order to participate in the EHR Incentive Programs beginning in 2014 EHR technology that is certified to the 2014 standards and certification criteria will allow providers to meet both Stage 1 and Stage 2 meaningful use requirements
12 Individual Reporting Criteria for Aligning 2014 PQRS with Meaningful Use CQMs 12 Qualified Clinical Data Registry What Measure Type? Measures selected by Qualified Clinical Data Registry Report at least 9 measures covering at least 3 NQS domains AND report each measure for at least 50 percent of the EP s applicable patients seen during the reporting period to which the measure applies. Measures with a 0 percent performance rate would not be counted. Of the measures reported via a qualified clinical data registry, the EP must report on at least 1 outcome measure.

35 Value-Based Payment Modifier (VM) 35 Section 3007 of the Affordable Care Act mandated that, by 2015, CMS begin applying a value modifier under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) VM assesses both quality of care furnished and the cost of that care under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule For CY 2015, CMS will apply the VM to groups of physicians with 100 or more eligible professionals (EPs) For CY 2016, CMS will apply the VM to groups of physicians with 10 or more EPs Phase-in to be completed for all physicians by 2017 Implementation of the VM is based on participation in Physician Quality Reporting System
36 How Aligning PQRS and MU CQMs Affects Value Modifier Groups of 10+ EPs who satisfactorily report using EHR product, EHR Data Submission Vendor, the GPRO Web Interface, or the CG-CAHPS survey (with measures using one of the above reporting options) will avoid the automatic -2.0% downward adjustment for the 2016 VM for non-reporting o o Groups of EPs would be subject to a neutral or upward payment adjustment based on quality-tieirng Groups of 100+ EPs will be subject to a neutral, upward, or downward payment adjustment based on quality-tiering Groups of 10+ EPs who do not satisfactorily report PQRS will receive an automatic 2% downward adjustment for the 2016 VM o o In addition to the -2.0% payment adjustment for non-reporting of PQRS An additional -2.0% payment adjustment for meaningful use if individual EPs do not submit CQMs through the Attestation module 36
37 Reporting Quality Data at the Individual Level - 50% Threshold Option 37 If a group does not seek to report quality measures as a group, CMS will calculate a group quality score if at least 50 percent of the eligible professionals within the group report measures individually. o At least 50% of EPs must successfully avoid the 2016 PQRS payment adjustment o EPs who want to align the PQRS and Meaningful Use programs may report on measures available to individual EPs via the following reporting mechanisms: EHR (direct product or Data Submission Vendor) Qualified Clinical Data Registries (new for CY 2014)
