The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) will apply a negative 2% payment adjustment in 2017 if practices do not report data on quality measures for covered professional services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries in 2015. By participating in AGA’s Digestive Health Recognition Program™ (www.agarecognition.org), or DHRP, members can report on quality measures and work to avoid this negative payment adjustment.
