Why do you say to avoid a 4% cut in 2017? It's debatable whether a 2% cut is worth my time.
In 2015, if an individual EP or group practice does not satisfactorily report or satisfactorily participate while submitting data on PQRS quality measures, a 2% negative payment adjustment will apply in 2017.
The adjustment (98% of the fee schedule amount that would otherwise apply to such services) applies to covered professional services furnished by an individual EP or group practice during 2017.
