Hospitalists and e-prescribing
e-prescribing quality data codes may only be used on office codes: new/established, consults, some eye codes, some psych codes. There are articles in the data base that list them, and link to the CMS website.
Also, the codes that are reported on for e-prescribing must make up 10% of the total charges billed to Medicare.
