Quality Matters is a monthly column from CMA that focuses on practical ways physicians can improve the quality of the care they provide to their patients.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has designated “G8300” as a test code for physicians who want to test their readiness for the Physicians Quality Reporting Initiative. The quality reporting initiative, which begins in July, establishes financial incentives – bonus payments of 1.5 percent of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician services – for physicians who participate in this voluntary program.
For information on how to test your system’s readiness, visit the PQRI website.
