CMS Pub. 100-22, ch. 1, § 50
Form and Manner of Reporting
10
Eligible professionals may choose to report quality measures data to CMS using one of the
following established reporting mechanisms:
• Claims-based reporting;
• Registry-based reporting (beginning in 2008): or
• EHR-based reporting (beginning in 2010).
Beginning with the 2007 Physician Quality Reporting System, CMS implemented the claims-based reporting mechanism based on submission of quality measures data on Medicare Part B
claims.
The registry-based reporting mechanism became available to eligible professionals beginning
with the 2008 Physician Quality Reporting System. The registry-based reporting mechanism is
available for reporting either individual Physician Quality Reporting System quality measures or
Physician Quality Reporting System measures groups (see §60.1 and §60.2, respectively)
The EHR-based reporting mechanism became available to eligible professionals beginning with
the 2010 Physician Quality Reporting System and is available for reporting on individual
Physician Quality Reporting System quality measures only (see §60.1 below).
