Physician Quality Reporting Initiative

On December 20, 2006, the President signed the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA). Section 101 under Title I authorizes the establishment of a physician quality reporting system by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS has titled the program the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI).

PQRI establishes a financial incentive for eligible professionals to participate in a voluntary quality reporting program. CMS is developing and implementing pay for performance to encourage the provision of high-quality, cost-effective care for of Medicare beneficiaries.
