2013 PQRS - Medicare EHR Incentive Pilot: Submit Quality Data by February 28, 2014

The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) Medicare EHR Incentive Pilot allows eligible professionals to meet the clinical quality measure (CQM) reporting requirement for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program through electronic submission while also reporting for the PQRS program. 
Are you an eligible professional  who is participating or wishes to participate in the 2013 PQRS-Medicare EHR Incentive Pilot ? You can now submit your 2013 quality data.

If you would like to participate in the pilot you must submit 12 months of CQM data by February 28, 2014 at 11:59 pm ET.

Steps to Successfully Participate

To successfully participate in the pilot, you must do the following by February 28, 2014:

1. Register for an IACS account (for EHR submission only)
2. Indicate intent to report CQMs using pilot in EHR Registration & Attestation System
3. Generate required reporting files
4. Test data submission
5. Submit quality data

If you cannot submit your CQM data for 12 months electronically through PQRS, you must return to the EHR Attestation System and deselect the electronic reporting option.  Please note: if you do not submit your 2013 quality data or deselect the electronic reporting option in the EHR Attestation System, you will not receive an EHR incentive payment.
