Why Registry?

2010 Success Rate: 91%*
2010 Success Rate: 57%*
•
Submit 2012 data right up until the CMS
deadline in March 2013 (no need to track
claims throughout the year)
•
Must have someone in the clinic who “owns”
PQRS: complete audits, know all the ins/outs,
keep record of the % completed, etc.
•
Higher potential for meeting reporting
criteria and receiving bonus payment
•
Auditing process can be tedious and
potentially a productivity loss, especially if you
have a large Medicare patient population
•
Measures and measure groups updated
automatically each year as information is
provided by CMS, which keeps staff from
having to become measure experts
•
Must complete and submit proper forms in
proper format for eligible patients
•
No internal automated check/ balance
system provided by billing company: submits
only what you give them
