- Does anyone know if CMS has an extension of the feb 28 deadline for direct submission of PQRS. We are not going to upgrade to CPS 12 until Monday Feb 16 so we missed the deadline for GE to submit. The problem is that I just registered through CMS yesterday for direct submission and was told that the registration could take a month which is a problem since feb 28 is the deadline. Does anyone know if CMS offers any extension of that deadline since registration is in progress? Also is anyone familiar with the registry process since it seems they have a later deadline. ANY HELP IS SO APPRECIATED ..

I was under the impression that the timeline for PQRS was March 31st. GE did extend their deadline as well but it doesn't seem to mean much being that they can't get the programming right on their dashboard.

mvolatile - Where did you go to register for direct submission? We signed up for Group reporting before GE said they wouldn't be doing group so we are using the GPRO option but we have one provider who is not part of our group, but is in our building using our systems and we have to do something for him (totally forgot about him when we chose group). The document that I am looking at sounds like you will have to submit a file? With Group reporting, they gave us a list of patients that we have to report back on so just wondering if you know yet how the individual submission is going to work.

Go to https://idm.cms.hhs.gov/idm/user/newregistration
It is not easy to naviagate so you will probably need to call a representative but they are helpful. The process goes as follows
You sign up but you need a security rep ( who is likely your md) who then can allow another to log in.
The problem is that they send the security rep an email to verify that it is his or hers address. Once they ok it then they have to send another email requesting documentation (W_2 form) which you then send ( overnite) and once that is all ok then you will get access to the IACS account which you need for direct submission. The challenge it the verifation of the W2 document registration. The rep told me it could take up to 60 days and we don’t have 60 dahys to do it. GE has extended their deadline to submit so I am goint to go that route. I hope that is helpful.
