PQRI Webinar, code chart now available
February 18, 2010The new 2010 editions of the AOA PQRI Webinar and AOA PQRI Eye Care Measures chart are both now available on the AOA Web site PQRI page (www.aoa.org/pqri.xml).
The AOA PQRI Webinar, an online PowerPoint presentation and audio lecture, outlines how optometrists can obtain 2 percent Medicare payment bonuses for properly reporting specified quality care measures on claims.
The AOA PQRI Eye Care Measures chart conveniently lists most quality measures applicable to optometric practice, along with measure specifications and the codes to be used in reporting.
The Web site also provides convenient access to Medicare’s 2010 PQRI Implementation Guide, with instructions for the establishing of a quality reporting program in a practice, as well as more than a dozen other helpful government guidance documents.
Medicare’s 2010 PQRI reporting period began Jan. 1. Practitioners need not register in advance to take part in the program.
