PQRS GPRO Registration Deadline Extended



CMS has extended the registration deadline for the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) due to a glitch in the system. Physicians have until October 3, 2014 11:59 PM EDT to complete registration, and the American Medical Association is working on CMS to extend the deadline further.

The Physician Value-Physician Quality Reporting System (PV-PQRS) registration system can be accessed at https://portal.cms.gov. The PV-PQRS registration system allows group practices to register to participate in the PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) in 2014 via Qualified PQRS Registry, EHR, or Web Interface (for groups with 25 or more eligible professionals (EPs) only). In order to register, groups must have an approved IACS account and indicate and select their reporting method for the 12-month period. The 2014 PQRS data submission window will be in the first quarter of 2015.  If you have questions about how to register or set up an IACS account please contact the QualityNet Help Desk at (866) 288-8912 or via email at Qnetsupport@hcqis.org from 7am-7pm CST. 

Please note: It is very important that practices do not wait until Friday to register for IACS accounts – they need to register now, as the turn-around time for approval is 24 hours.
