Can you report on more than one PQRI measure at the same visit?
Patient Financial Services Weekly Advisor, July 18, 2007
Yes, and in fact, that would be in order in certain situations [for the physician quality reporting initiative (PQRI)]. For example, if the eligible professional had selected to report on the cluster of diabetes measures or the cluster of heart failure measures.
If the patient is being treated for those conditions during that visit, then all of those measures could or even should be reported in order to get to the 80% threshold for the measures that have been selected by that participating professional.
This question was answered by Thomas B. Valuck, MD, MHSA, JD, medical officer and senior advisor to Herb Kuhn at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
