Has anyone done the entire process for PQRS? I am not so sure if we are doing this correct or not. Just wondering..

We have not completed this either. It has been a nightmare process. Between misinformation, fumbled webinars and mixed information depending on who we talk to at GE it has been a disaster trying to get SOP codes correct and get the data into CQR.

Our CQR dashboard Calculation #'s in some cases didn't process for 3 days. Out of frustration we clicked the Calculation icon again and within a few hours the numbers updated. Now we are in the situation that our Medicare Denominator numbers are so low we know something is terribly wrong (i.e. in one case the provider shows for one specific measure 12 medicare patients for 2014 when we know it should be well over 200). We are hoping after we run the GE provided Subscription Reset script that was released late last Friday that it corrects the Medicare patient records so that our Numerators and Denominators are correct.

Looking at the script it appears after we run it we have to wait some (undetermined) amount of time before we should hit the CQR Calculate button again. Once we hit the Calculate button we can only hope we do not get into another 3 day wait situation as we only have 4 more days until the PQRS submission deadline is upon us.

This is insane pressure - the ramifications of failure are major penalties from CMS....

We assigned Medicare FFS and non-Medicare SOP codes, ran the script, restarted JBOSS, and run the calculation as GE told ud to do..but still my Medicare patient count is not correct in CQR for PQRS. I am lost on what to do now!

We have been trying to finalize this process for 2 weeks. I followed all the necessary steps, did all the calculations AFTER the so called script was put in place, but it continues to tell us that our measure calculations have not been done for some or all providers. I have run them 4 times. We cannot authorize our providers due to this issue. Even the support staff don't know all the answers.

I am also struggling with this process. I am trying to complete Step 2 of applying remaining SOP Medicare Codes, but don't have a clear answer from any of the documentation I have printed/preview and from the webinar as to what codes to use? (None, Other, Unknown etc...) Does anyone have any good suggestions or answers on this?

I am also curious as to how you are verifying the Medicare Numerator/Denominator numbers from CQR to actual #'s?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Signed, Frustrated!! 🙁
