MINNEAPOLIS, August 25, 2008—The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing that 2007 PQRI Final Feedback Reports are available on a secure website.

Two MLN Matters articles on accessing the reports are now available that can assist individual eligible professionals and group practices that reported valid 2007 PQRI quality measures data to Medicare.

The reports are organized by Tax Identification Number (TIN). For eligible professionals reporting measures for 2007 PQRI under a group practice TIN, the group practice determines who can access the Feedback Report for the group practice or organization.

The first article, “Steps for Individual Eligible Professionals to Access Their 2007 PQRI Feedback Reports Personally”, MM SE0830, can be accessed at, www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/SE0830.pdf

The second article, “Steps for Organizations to Access Their 2007 PQRI Feedback Reports,” is available at www.cms.hhs.gov/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/SE0831.pdf.

Once you are registered in the Individuals Authorized Access to CMS Computer Services (IACS) system and have access to the PQRI feedback report application, any questions about the Feedback Report should be directed to the Report Delivery System Help Desk referenced at the end of the end of the MLN Matters articles.
