e. Reporting the Electronic Prescribing Measure
Reporting the electronic prescribing measure for 2009
is limited to claims based submission. The reporting of
the measure is subject to the same technical requirements
as for PQRI claims based measures in terms of the items
that need to be submitted on the claim. Examples of
technical requirements include submission of an NPI for the
eligible professional, inclusion of the measure reporting
codes on the same claim that contains the denominator
codes, and no resubmission of the claims for purpose of
reporting numerator codes. Detailed information on the
technical submission requirements is available on the PQRI
section of the CMS Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/pqri.
Measure #125, like other PQRI measures, has two basic
elements. These include: (1) a reporting denominator (for
Measure #125, this consists of a set of procedure codes)
that defines the circumstances when the measure is
reportable; and (2) a reporting numerator (for Measure
#125, this consists of three specific codes, one of which
must be reported for successful reporting.)
