2 PQRS: Leveraging Technology to Improve Quality and Ease Reporting Burdens Tara Hatfield RN, BSN, CHTS-CP Managing Advisor MU/PQRS Purdue Healthcare Advisors

3 Objectives Understand the impact of the PQRS program on their practice Identify strategies to fully utilize their EHR to improve quality Identify methods of aligning different quality reporting programs to ease the administrative burden of annual data submissions

4 What is PQRS? PQRS is a quality reporting program designed to promote reporting of quality data from eligible providers (EP) to CMS Identifies areas for quality improvement and clinical excellence

5 Who is eligible for PQRS Any provider who has Medicare Part B claims is eligible for PQRS Payment adjustments (penalties) and should report PQRS List includes: physicians, NP, PA, therapists, dieticians, social workers, etc.

6 PQRS Payment Adjustment

7 What is required to report PQRS? To report PQRS successfully, 9 measures of 3 NQS domains must be reported for at least 50% of all Medicare Part B beneficiaries Performance rate must be greater than 0%

8 What are the methods to report PQRS? Individual Reporting Claims-based PQRS Registry Direct EHR Data Submission Vendor Clinical Quality Data Registry GPRO reporting PQRS Registry Direct EHR Data Submission Vendor Clinical Quality Data Registry Web Interface (groups of 25+) CG-CAHPS Survey plus one other reporting method

9 Direct EHR Submission and Data Submission Vendor Direct EHR Submit PQRS quality measure data directly from the CEHRT (certified electronic health record technology) to CMS via QRDA file Measures must be from June 2013 ecqmmeasures specifications Data Submission Vendor Submission Vendor is an entity that collects an individual EP s or group practice s clinical quality data directly from the EP s or group practice s CEHRT

10 Documentation is Key PQRS measures are dependent on patients diagnosis (denominator) and the clinical action performed (numerator) Accurate and timely documentation is imperative Problem lists, med list, orders, etc

11 Documentation is Key If it wasn t documented it wasn t done PQRS performance rates are based on clinical actions Cpt codes, G-codes, quality data codes (QDC) When a clinical action is documented in structured format, it will count in the numerator in your PQRS report

12 Example: Lab focused measure Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control (PQRS #1) Description: Percentage of patients years of age with diabetes who had hemoglobin A1c > 9.0% during the measurement period

13 Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): Patients 18 through 75 years of age on date of encounter (Demographics) AND Diagnosis for diabetes (ICD-9-CM) [for use 1/1/2015-9/30/2015]: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 357.2, , , , , , , , , , , , , (Problem list) AND Patient encounter during reporting period (CPT or HCPCS): 97802, 97803, 97804, 99201, 99202, 99203, 99204, 99205, 99211,99212, 99213, 99214, 99215, 99217, 99218, 99219, 99220, 99221, 99222, 99223, 99231, 99232, 99233, 99238, 99239, 99281(E&M, RFV)

14 NUMERATOR: Patients whose most recent HbA1c level (performed during the measurement period) is > 9.0% Patient is numerator compliant if most recent HbA1c level >9% or is missing a result or if an HbA1c test was not done during the measurement year. Numerator Quality-Data Coding Options for Reporting Satisfactorily: Most Recent Hemoglobin A1c Level > 9.0% Performance Met: CPT II 3046F: Most recent hemoglobin A1c level > 9.0% OR Hemoglobin A1c not Performed, Reason not Otherwise Specified Append a reporting modifier (8P) to CPT Category II code 3046F to report circumstances when the action described in the numerator is not performed and the reason is not otherwise specified. ***Lab results entered as structure data (manual or via interface) is key!

15 Example: Medication focused measure Osteoporosis: Pharmacologic Therapy for Men and Women Aged 50 Years and Older (PQRS # 41) Description: Percentage of patients aged 50 years and older with a diagnosis of osteoporosiswho were prescribed pharmacologic therapy within 12 months

16 Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): Patients aged 50 years on date of encounter (Demographics) AND Diagnosis for osteoporosis (ICD-9-CM) [for use 1/1/2015-9/30/2015]: , , , , Diagnosis for osteoporosis (ICD-10-CM) [for use 10/01/ /31/2015]: M80.00XA, M80.00XD, M80.00XG, M80.00XK, M80.00XP, M80.00XS, M80.011A, M80.011D, M80.011G, M80.011K, M80.011P, M80.011S, M80.012A, M80.012D, M80.012G, M80.012K, M80.012P, M80.012S, M80.019A, M80.019D, M80.019G, M80.019K, M80.019P, M80.019S, M80.021A, M80.021D, M80.021G, M80.021K, M80.021P, M80.021S, M80.022A, M80.022D, M80.022G, M80.022K, M80.022P, M80.022S, M80.029A, M80.029D, M80.029G, M80.029K, M80.029P, M80.029S, M80.031A, M80.031D, M80.031G, M80.031K, M80.031P, M80.031S, M80.032A, M80.032D, M80.032G, M80.032K, M80.032P, M80.032S, M80.039A, M80.039D, M80.039G, M80.039K, M80.039P, M80.039S, M80.041A, M80.041D, M80.041G, M80.041K, M80.041P, M80.041S, M80.042A, M80.042D, M80.042G, M80.042K, M80.042P, M80.042S, M80.049A, M80.049D (Problem List) AND Patient encounter during the reporting period (CPT or HCPCS): 99201, 99202, 99203, 99204, 99205, 99212, 99213, 99214, 99215, G0402 (E&M, RFV)

17 NUMERATOR: Patients who were prescribed pharmacologic therapy for osteoporosis within 12 months Numerator Quality-Data Coding Options for Reporting Satisfactorily: Pharmacologic Therapy Prescribed Performance Met: CPT II 4005F: Pharmacologic therapy (other than minerals/vitamins) for osteoporosis prescribed (CPOE, historical meds) OR Pharmacologic Therapy not Prescribed for Medical, Patient, or System Reasons Append a modifier (1P, 2P or 3P) to CPT Category II code 4005F to report documented circumstances that appropriately exclude patients from the denominator.
