Everything your Ob-Gyn Practice Needs to Know about PQRS and eRx

If your Ob-Gyn practice is not taking part in both the PQRS and eRx programs, you could be facing penalties and missing out on hard-earned money. 

And even if you’re participating, you need to be well-versed with the latest updates. You can avoid the adjustments and take advantage of the incentives the CMS provides for e-Prescribing if you have sound understanding of eRx Incentive Program, hardship exemptions and payment adjustment exclusions, how to submit a hardship exemption request, and other aspects of e-prescribing!

At present, only about one in five health care professionals who can participate in the PQRS do so. Even though participation in both the programs is non-compulsory, providers who are able to take part in these programs but opt not to, will receive payment reductions from Medicare in the coming years.

To ensure your payments don’t get slashed, you can tune in to a FREE webinar on The Ins and Outs of Physician Quality Reporting and E-Prescribing for Ob-Gyn by coding expert, Melanie Witt, RN, CPC, COBGC, MA.

This 60-minute webinar will help you clear all your E-prescribing doubts. In the webinar, you’ll
·         Find out where you can get the latest updates and information on the programs to ensure successful participation.

·         Figure out which reporting period and data submission method is best for your practice as CMS offers more than one method 

·         The claim examples in the webinar will make everything easier for you
