Doctors who did not adequately meet Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) requirements in 2016 will soon be receiving notification letters alerting them that their Medicare Part B physician fee schedule payments will be reduced by 2%.
Officials from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said in a statement that “the majority” of eligible professionals “successfully reported to PQRS and avoided the downward payment adjustment,” but did not state how many doctors are expected to receive letters.
The CMS noted that there are no hardship exemptions to avoid the payment reduction for 2018.
