The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Provider Communications Group will host the second in a series of national provider conference calls on the 2008 Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI). This toll-free call will take place on Wednesday, April 30, 1:30-3:30 p.m.

CMS encourages participation among practices that currently report and practices thinking about reporting the designated quality measures to Medicare.  The call is a question and answer session.

In order to receive call-in information, practices must register for the call. It is important to note that if your office is planning to sit in with a group, only one person needs to register to receive the call-in data. This registration is solely to reserve a phone line, NOT to allow participation. If your practice cannot participate in the call, replay information is available below.
Registration will close at 1:30 p.m. EDT on April 29, 2008, or when available space has been filled.  No exceptions will be made, so please be sure to register prior to this time.
