Guest guest Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 , There is no 'sign up' per se. You simply start using the codes when you submit your claims and as long as you hit the minimum % of the claims for the year you will get a check sometime in the next year. We have been participating since the inception--and it's been pretty nice to get that 'bonus' check--usually in August or September.

PQRS SIGN UP HELP Hi! We participated in an APTA CMS Update. Very good, but we didn't get much information on getting signed up with CMS' PQRS Program. I looked at the website and was totally lost. Does anyone have any idea how we can get signed up as a small group (6 physical therapists and 1 occupational therapist).

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 All you have to do is include the codes on your billing HCFA with the eval dates of service and re-eval dates of service. You don't need to sign up. As long as you report on at least 80% or better of your MC patients, you qualify for the incentive. We use the fall risk high (1100F) or low (1101F), fall assessment (3288F) and pain assessment (G8508 for no) (G8440 for yes) on everyone, and for high fall risk we include fall plan of care (0518F). Not sure if any changes for 2011, didn't think so, but there may be other applicable screens that can be included that were added. We have the codes programmed into our billing CPT codes and my biller adds them for all MC evals and re-evals as directed, we have them listed on our superbill to be checked off.
