CMS eHealth News Update
Feedback reports are now available for providers who submitted Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) data from Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule claims received with dates of service between January 1 and December 31, 2012.
Access instructions for individual eligible professionals (EPs) and groups who participated in 2012 PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) are listed below. For more information on locating and interpreting data provided in the feedback report, review the 2012 PQRS Feedback Report User Guide.
Eligible Professionals
Individual EPs who submitted 2012 PQRS data can retrieve their 2012 PQRS Feedback Reports using the following options:
- National Provider Identifier (NPI)-level reports can be requested through the Communication Support Page by creating a NPI-level feedback report request. The report will be sent electronically to the email address     provided in the request within 2-4 weeks.
- Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)-level reports, which contain NPI-level detail, are available for     download on the Physician and Other Health Care Professionals Quality Reporting Portal (Portal) available via QualityNet. TIN-level reports on the Portal require an Individuals Authorized Access to CMS Computer Services (IACS) account. The IACS Quick Reference Guides are available on the Portal and provide step-by-step instructions on how to request an IACS account in order to access the Portal, if you do not already have one.
Group Practice Reporting Option
Groups who participated in 2012 PQRS GPRO can access PQRS feedback through the 2012 Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs). Authorized representatives of practices with 25 or more EPs can access the QRURs at https://portal.cms.gov using an IACS account with one of the following group-specific PV-PQRS Registration System roles:
- Primary PV-PQRS Group Security Official
- Backup PV-PQRS Group Security Official
- PV-PQRS Group Representative
Information about QRURs and the required IACS roles is available on the CMS Physician Feedback Program website under the Quality and Resource Use Report (QRUR) Templates and Methodologies page.
