Since the PQRI reporting requirements tend to change annually with each annual physician fee rule, this ICR is approved until January 2010. Because this ICR is associated with rulemaking, CMS agrees to coordinate the publication of the 60 & 30 day Federal Register Notices with the issuance of the proposed and final physician fee rule. In order to comment meaningfully on the burden and utility of these reporting requirements, the public needs access to all technical specifications on how each performance measure will be calculated (e.g. the denominators and numerators). Therefore, all such technical specifications need to be submitted with the ICR in order for the ICR package to be considered complete. These technical specifications must also match up with the year in question (i.e. the 2008 specifications should not be submitted for the 2009 measures). Incomplete submissions will be returned to the agency as "improper submissions." Finally, CMS agrees to include this ICR in the next ICB as a "bootleg" collection.

The quality measures data collected from eligible professionals and/or registries who submit PQRI quality measures results and numerator and denominator data on behalf of eligible professionals in 2009 and the e-prescribing quality measure data collected from eligible professionals will be used by CMS to: (1) determine whether an eligible professional meets the criteria for satisfactory reporting of quality measures data for the 2009 PQRI and/or the criteria for successful electronic prescribers for the 2009 E-Prescribing Incentive Program, (2) to calculate and make incentive payments in 2010 to eligible professionals who meet the criteria for satisfactory reporting of quality measures data and/or eligible professionals who are successful electronic prescribers, and (3) publicly post the names of eligible professionals who satisfactorily report PQRI quality measures data and/or who are successful electronic prescribers on the CMS Web site.
