CMS-1403-FC Section 1848(m)(6)(C) of the Act, as redesignated and amended by the MIPPA, defines “reporting period” for the 2009 E-Prescribing Incentive Program to be the entire year. Therefore, like for the 2009 PQRI, the reporting period for the 2009 E-Prescribing Incentive Program is defined as the entire calendar year, or January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Successful electronic prescribers are eligible to receive an incentive payment equal to 2.0 percent of the total estimated allowed charges submitted by no later than February 28, 2010 for all covered professional services furnished January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. d. 2009 Electronic Prescribing Measure Section 1848(m)(3)(B)(ii) of the Act provides that a successful electronic prescriber is required to report on each such electronic prescribing measure established under the PQRI and that are applicable to the eligible professional’s services. There is one electronic prescribing measure that has been established for the PQRI. This measure was developed in response to the requirement under section 1848(k)(2)(B)(i) of the Act that the Secretary include structural measures for the 2008 PQRI, such as the use of electronic health records (EHRs) and electronic prescribing technology, and again proposed for the 2009 PQRI. The measure is identified as Measure #125 680
CMS-1403-FC and is included in the 2008 PQRI: “HIT: Adoption/Use of Medication E-Prescribing.” This measure achieved AQA consensus adoption in October 2007, and was included in the 2008 PQRI. The measure was endorsed by the NQF during 2008. The measure is being reported by physicians and other eligible professionals as a quality measure for the 2008 PQRI. As required by section 1848(m)(3)(A) of the Act, we will finalize Measure #125 in this final rule with comment period (for use in the 2009 E-Prescribing Incentive Program) and then the PQRI will have no electronic prescribing measures for 2009 or thereafter. We will post the updated measure and its specifications for the 2009 Electronic Prescribing Incentive Program (that is, Measure #125) on or about the date of publication of this final rule with comment period. However, as noted below, we retain the authority to make specification code changes to the electronic prescribing measure until December 31, 2008. Measure specifications and/or reporting instructions for Measure #125 for the 2008 PQRI are not identical to the measure specifications and/or reporting instructions for the 2009 E-Prescribing Incentive Program. The final measure specifications and reporting instructions for the E-Prescribing Measure #125 for the 2009 e-prescribing incentive program will be posted on the 681
