Neurology & Pain Management Coding Alert
Yes, You Can List Multiple PQRS Measures
Question: Can we report more than one PQRS code measure on the same claim? West Virginia Subscriber Answer: Yes. You aren't limited to reporting just one Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) code per visit. "EPs [eligible professionals] may submit multiple codes for more than one measure on a single claim," CMS states in its PQRS Implementation Guide. "Multiple CPT® Category II and/or G-codes for multiple measures that are applicable to a patient visit can be reported on the same claim, as long as the corresponding denominator codes are also line items on that claim," CMS adds.
