Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI)

The CMS Web site is “the source” for PQRI information, including details regarding the potential bonus to be earned, alternative reporting options, the measures, tools, and recorded calls. 

Background

The 2006 Tax Relief and Health Care Act (TRHCA) (P.L. 109-432) required the establishment of a physician quality reporting system, including an incentive payment for eligible professionals who satisfactorily report data on quality measures for covered services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries during the second half of 2007 (the 2007 reporting period). CMS named this program the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI).
