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.

To learn more about DHRP, register for a free, 30-minute webinar taking place during these two dates (attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/2452555612218433025):

• Jan 28, 2016, 5 p.m. ET

• Feb. 25, 2016, noon ET

The deadline to enroll for the 2015 PQRS year through DHRP is Feb. 26, 2016. Members pay $300 to enroll.

DHRP is made possible by support from AbbVie; Gilead Science, Inc.; Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Janssen Therapeutics, Division of Janssen Products, LLP; and Shire Pharmaceuticals.
