In the Jan. 25 issue of Part B News, editor Julia Kyles, CPC, shared a "lifeline" for practices seeking to report their 2015 physician quality reporting system (PQRS) data.
In 2015, providers undercoded their way out of $1.2 billion, a large portion of which was tied to underreporting established-patient office visits related to E/M codes 99211-99215.

CMS officials have dropped some tantalizing clues, but still fail to deliver change in the much-maligned incentive program.

CMS beat its deadline for issuing a revised value file for the 2016 physician fee schedule, but we've unearthed one surprise in the new file.

We talked to Lisa Maciejewski-West -- president and owner of Gold Star Medical Business Services in San Angelo, Texas, and a faculty member of the Practice Management Institute (PMI) – about the new DMEPOS final rule and its possible impact on providers.

She expects the pre-authorization scheme will be troubled and "revisited and revised until a workable solution is found."
