Register for the Physician Voluntary
Reporting Program
Gastroenterologists
can now register online to participate in the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Physician Voluntary Reporting Program (PVRP).
Registering your intent to participate does not obligate physicians to
participate in the program. However, this registration is necessary to get the
confidential feedback reports once a physician begins reporting on
measures. Although there are currently no Gastroenterology/Hepatology
specific measures in the 2006 starter set of PVRP measures, it is
expected that gastroenterology specialty measures will be included in the
PVRP over time. To register go to http://www.qualitynet.org
