ASH, in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), will hold an informational conference call to help you participate in the 2009 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) and the E-Prescribing programs. This call and accompanying materials will cover the basics of how to report the 2009 PQRI quality measures through claims-based reporting and to complete the E-Prescribing measure. Physician representatives who report these measures will receive bonus payments.

The call will take place on March 6, 2009, from 12:00 noon to 1:15 p.m., EST.

Sylvia Publ, CMS Senior Quality Advisor, will discuss the basics of how to satisfactorily report the 2009 PQRI quality measures and to participate in the E-Prescribing program. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

The call is open to ASH members, as well as office staff and others who would benefit from a greater understanding of the PQRI process. Please contact Matt Eckel at grassroots@hematology.org to sign up for this call.
