Question:
How do I report on quality measures to recieve 1.5% medicare payment to physicians?
Congress passed a bill that stated that physicians who voluntarily report on quality measures are able to receive a 1.5% incentive for doing so. It is to begin July 1, 2007 and I was just given the task of finding out how we can set up a program to do this. I need some suggestions and more information on the program and what are the quality reporting guidelines?

As with anything to do with the government this can get too complicated for this forum. Here is a link http://www.cms.hhs.gov/physicianfocusedq... to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services to get you started. There are links to FAQ pages and guidelines to the measurements that are being taken.
