Reporting benchmarks on 30 consecutive patients at least 10% of them medicare. Will soon see if that pans out. I've started "watching" for the money now.

I did 4 consecutive 6 month periods of the diabetes registry PQRI. I got one unidentifiable check for $1000. I could not tell which period it came from or why I did not receive a check for the other 3 despite multiple emails and phone calls. I no longer bother with the diabetes PQRI. BUT, are you guys saying that I can just send in a G code on 25 medicare patients on whom I send eRXs and get a 2% bonus. I suppose that might be worth trying, though I remain HIGHLY skeptical of the whole program. I have no delusion of ever receiving $44k.
