The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has released updated PQRS resources summarizing 2014 reporting requirements for the program. The PQRS program will apply a 2 percent penalty in 2016 to providers who do not meet reporting criteria in the 2014 performance year. In most cases, providers must report on at least three PQRS measures in 2014 to avoid the 2016 payment adjustment.
