Based on the assumptions discussed above, we estimate
the total annual burden per eligible professional
associated with claims-based reporting to range from 186.75
minutes, or 3.1 hours [(0.25 minutes per measure X 3
measures X 9 cases per measure) + 3 hours] to 504 minutes,
or 8.4 hours [(12 minutes per measure X 3 measures X 9
cases per measure) + 3 hours]. We estimate the total
annual cost per eligible professional associated with
claims-based reporting to range from $155.67 [($0.21 per
measure X 3 measures X 9 cases per measure) + $150] to
$421.62 [($10.06 per measure X 3 measures X 9 cases per
measure) + $150].
For registry-based reporting, there would be no
additional burden for eligible professionals to report data
to a registry as eligible professionals more than likely
would already be reporting data to the registry. Little,
if any, additional data would need to be reported to the
registry for purposes of participation in the 2009 PQRI.
However, eligible professionals would need to authorize or
instruct the registry to submit quality measures results
and numerator and denominator data on quality measures to
CMS on their behalf. We estimate that the time and effort
associated with this would be approximately 5 minutes for
each eligible professional that wishes to authorize or
