Ophthalmic PQRI Measures

IO Practiceware sifted through the 2009 PQRI measures and compiled a list of those that relate to ophthalmology practices that use EMR. Below is a breakdown of measure number, measure description, reporting procedure, diagnosis codes (to combine with office visit code), reporting code, and modifiers on those reporting codes.

By implementing IO Practiceware's EMR software, your practice automatically satisfies measures 124 and 130.
