You were told wrong. AC is fine to use to meet all the criteria for both Meaningful Use and PQRS incentives. An EHR is required for either eRx or MU (you can't get both), but PQRS can be satisfied simply by adding a "G code" to Medicare billing.

You may be referring to reporting from within the EHR. Beginning with the 2010 Physician Quality Reporting System program year, eyou can report a PQRS incentive through the EHR-based reporting method. Not every EHR can do this. But you can certainly get the incentive $$$ the usual way.
