Medicare QRURs and PQRS Feedback Reports: Access Ends December 31

The final performance period for the Value Modifier and Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) programs was 2016 and the final payment adjustment year is 2018. Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs) and PQRS Feedback Reports will no longer be available after the end of 2018. If you need these reports, download them through December 31, 2018, from the CMS Enterprise Portal using an Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) system account with the correct role. Visit the How to Obtain a QRUR webpage for more information.

For access to PQRS Taxpayer Identification Number or National Provider Identifier reports from program year 2013 or earlier, contact the QualityNet Help Desk. They are no longer available from the QualityNet Secure Portal.

The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) under the Quality Payment Program replaced the Value Modifier and PQRS programs. Visit the Quality Payment Program website to learn more. Note: QRURs and PQRS Feedback Reports are not same as the MIPS Performance Feedback.
