Recent Practice Fusion update and ECQM BP documentation and Follow UP.

Posted on by KR2Medical Billing

Have you looked at your MU2/3 dashboard in Practice Fusion and noticed that the percentage or # of patients for the ECQM measure: Preventative care screening: for High Bloodpressure and floww up documented; is zero?

Don’t panic! On Oct 26th, 2017 Practice Fusion updated their EMR and the dashboard so it affected this ECQM.

According, to PF reps, this has been reported by at least 9 other providers and is being addressed.

Taking in consideration that your office and you, have been following the suggested workflow to capture this measure, in PF EMR, you should continue this process until the issue will be resolved and you start seeing the # and percentage for the measure again.

Now it’s your turn: have you seen any other ECQM measure being affected by the October update?

UPDATE: 12/19/2017- the issue has been resolved. Your MU dashboard should show you the correct percentage now.

Important: Check your Provider Information

Posted on by KR2Medical Billing

Whether this is your first year or not, when attesting for any Incentive Programs (PQRS/Medicare EHR/Medicaid EHR), make sure the information for the Provider your are attesting for or the information for the qualified clinic/provider group is correct.

The last thing you need is to find out that CMS or Medicaid has the wrong NPI or Tax ID on file. This will hinder your attestation and will create nothing but delays that would draw a thin line between you receiving that incentive or getting a penalty letter.
