New Podcast: Reporting Under the Group Practice Reporting Option for 2013
In 2013, physical
therapists (PTs) will be eligible to participate in the Physician Quality
Reporting System (PQRS) under the Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) for
the first time, as a result of changes in the group practice definition and
changes to the reporting methods for data submission under GPRO. A new APTA podcast explains
the some of the important differences that PTs should consider before deciding
whether to report as an individual physical therapist or as a part of a physical
therapy practice under the GPRO option. The accompanying transcript also includes charts illustrating how these 2
reporting options work from a data analysis standpoint.
