The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is hosting a webcast to provide an overview of the 2014 Annual QRUR and explain how to interpret and use the information in the report.

The 2014 Annual Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs) are now available to group practices and solo practitioners nationwide, including groups and solo practitioners that participated in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the Pioneer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model or the Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) initiative in 2014.

The 2014 Annual QRURs contain quality and cost performance data for CY 2014. That also is the performance period for the Value-Based Payment Modifier that will be applied to physician payments for items and services furnished under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for groups of 10 or more eligible professionals in 2016.
