11. Why Registry? Registry-Based Claims-Based • 2010 Success Rate: 91%* • Submit 2012 data right up until the CMS deadline in March 2013 (no need to track claims throughout the year) • Higher potential for meeting reporting criteria and receiving bonus payment • Measures and measure groups updated automatically each year as information is provided by CMS, which keeps staff from having to become measure experts 2010 Success Rate: 57%* • Must have someone in the clinic who “owns” PQRS: complete audits, know all the ins/outs, keep record of the % completed, etc. • Auditing process can be tedious and potentially a productivity loss, especially if you have a large Medicare patient population • 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 *Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2010 PQRS Reporting Experience, February 2012
