PQRS

With Aprima, a practice can capture the necessary data to qualify for this additional CMS reimbursement without any extra work. The points accumulated during the exam are even displayed on the screen so providers can see the progress.

Medicare PQRS offers an incentive for meeting documentation and reporting requirements, but with different measures applying to each practice, it can be time-consuming to administer. Aprima makes it easy with built-in PQRS requirements at no extra cost. Find out how physicians can modify rules as needed and take advantage of automated reporting capabilities as well as convenient desktop control.

Dr. Jeffery Hyman, UPG Treat and Release on PQRS

“I’ve been using Aprima since 2002. When CMS put the PQRS requirements in place, Aprima modified its system to handle the rigorous amount of data mining the initiative required so that I could take advantage of the financial incentives. Now, when I’m charting a patient, I can see on the Aprima screen how many PQRS rules I need to complete so I can collect my 2% from CMS. It’s automated. It runs in the background during my daily charting. Coupled with the 2% for E-Rx that Aprima also handles, these CMS incentive payments help my medical practice’s bottom line. This would never happen with a paper-based system. In short, with Aprima I’m doing nothing differently than I was doing before PQRS and I’m getting the incentive payments. In the interest of full disclosure, I have been Aprima’s Chief Medical Officer since 2007 and can attest to the company’s focus on physicians.”
