The AMA will host a 90-minute Web conference, titled "Medicare's pay-for-reporting bonus (Physician Quality Reporting Initiative)-what's in it for you?" on February 21, 2008. Medical practices that report on a designated set of quality measures can earn a bonus payment of up to 1.5 percent of total allowed charges for covered Medicare physician fee schedule services. This Web conference will detail how to report the required data, with or without an electronic medical record system.

Registration for AMA members is $125 ($200 for nonmembers), and includes continuing medical education (CME) credit of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ or 1.5 continuing education units (CEU) toward renewal of Professional Association of Health Care Office Management Medical Manager certification.
