Pub. 100-22? CMS Issues a New Manual

On June 11, 2010, CMS issued a transmittal containing the first two chapters of a new Manual.  The Manual is Pub. 100-22 and is titled "Medicare Quality Reporting Incentive Programs".  The Manual addresses the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) and E-Prescribing (eRx) Medicare Quality Reporting Incentive Programs.  The Manual does not establish new requirements for the PQRI and eRx programs.  It simply manualizes existing requirements to the programs.
