Proposed physician fee schedule 2016: PQRS requirements will stay the same but expect measures to change

Providers who were caught off guard by this year’s tougher quality reporting standards should start thinking about their 2016 action plan now. Medicare will not add to the requirements for such methods as individual claims-based or registry reporting, but it does intend to revise the list of individual measures and measures groups that will be available next year, according to the 2016 proposed physician fee schedule (p. 397). Page numbers throughout this article refer to the public inspection version of the proposed rule. A pdf is available in the Guidelines & Changes section of the Anesthesia & Pain Coder’s Pink Sheet website. See Proposed rule tightens incident-to rule, creates opportunities for CRNAs.
