Health eFilings, a national leader in automated PQRS compliance, today announced a partnership with Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS), a professional association of more than 15,000 Michigan physicians, as an MSMS Practice Solutions member.

Health eFilings innovative and proprietary software-as-a-service, PQRS Accelerator, integrates with any MU2-compliant EHR to extract, format and then submit PQRS data to Medicare. The end-to-end solution requires no workflow changes of physicians and other Medicare eligible professionals (EPs), no IT resources or administrative support from the organization.

"Medicare receivables can total anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of a practice's annual revenue," said Robert Hopton, Health eFilings CEO. "Non-compliance, or submitting inaccurate or incomplete data for the 2015 reporting period, means practices could be penalized 7% to 9% of total Medicare billings for all of 2017, and that could have a significant impact on their profitability. Our company is very excited to partner with the Michigan State Medical Society to offer our fully automated service to assist practices in complying with Medicare's reporting requirements of quality data."

Health eFilings is a DSV, or Data Submission Vendor, not a registry. As a result, Medicare confers several regulatory advantages for submitting quality data via DSV, the most important of these being your practice's submission made by Health eFilings will automatically satisfy three reporting requirements: PQRS, VBM and Meaningful Use eCQMs

Additional benefits available to MSMS members:

• Health eFilings' software does all data extraction, aggregation and filing, which means:
  • No software for your staff to learn or online forms to fill out
  • No reports to pull or chart abstraction
  • No measures to select
• The software automatically chooses the best 9 measures for each Provider, which will therefore put your practice in the best possible position to receive a Value-Based Modifier (VBM) incentive, and avoid the penalty
• There is absolutely no IT support needed from your organization as Health eFilings does 100% of the integration work with your EHR
• Medicare accepted 100% of the submissions Health eFilings filed in 2014
• The fee for their service is extremely low relative to the penalties that will be avoided and the savings of your staff's time if trying to file using a registry
