The , made possible by support from Santarus, Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb, is now open to report on 2013 hepatitis C and IBD data. The DHRP was developed by AGA to make it easy for clinicians to demonstrate quality in patient care, achieve recognition, qualify for payor incentives, avoid CMS penalties and earn ABIM maintenance of certification (MOC) points.
DHRP participants who meet thresholds for quality can receive recognition through the Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, Inc. (HCI3) Bridges to Excellence (BTE) program for Hepatitis C Care Recognition and BTE IBD Care Recognition. BTE recognition enables health-care providers to report quality performance to multiple payors through a single program, and gain rewards such as recognition and incentive payments. Applicants who achieve recognition receive a certificate and the right to advertise as a BTE-recognized provider. BTE recognition lasts for one year. BTE Hepatitis C Care Recognition was designed in collaboration with IDSA and AASLD.
Participants can also use the DHRP to collect and report quality measures data for the CMS Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) in order to avoid penalties. Starting in 2013, Medicare Part B providers will be penalized for non-participation in the CMS’ PQRS.
Data that is collected as part of DHRP can also be used to meet quality measurement requirements for ABIM’s Practice Improvement Modules (PIMs). The program allows you to easily capture the pre- and post-intervention data necessary to complete your PIM for either HCV or IBD, all using the same data, measures and process through BTE and PQRS.
Eligible applicants include individual MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who have treated at least 25 hepatitis C or IBD patients within the previous year. Eligible PQRS applicants must report on at least 11 unique Medicare Part B FFS patients billed to CMS.
AGA members pay only $300 per disease state. Non-AGA members are welcome to participate for a fee of $550. IDSA and AASLD members can participate in DHRP for hepatitis C for $300 as well. source AGA
I experienced dark urine and ribs pain, so I went to the hospital for treatment and I was diagnosed for chronic HEPATITIS B. The doctor gave me drugs to slowdown the viral load which later worsens the ailment because the drugs weren’t effective anymore. And I was so scared because they say it has no cure, I told a friend about it and luckily he told me he ones battled same problem in the past but he was saved by Dr. Iyabiye. He gave me his contact and I reached him and I became well and tested negative after the treatment. Here is his contact if you have such case.
