Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) 2015 Qualified Registries

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has announced the 2015 qualified registries for PQRS. 

Instead of a claims submission for PQRS, clinical social workers may participate in a qualified registry in 2015 to avoid the 2017 PQRS payment adjustment of a minus two percent. 

NASW has reviewed the registry list for registries that report the 8 PQRS measures available for use by clinical social workers.

This document provides a list of registries appropriate for use by clinical social workers and is available online at the following link at:
