- Pathologists Quality Registry by the CAP Earns Historic Benchmarks from CMS
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) alerted the CAP that its Pathologists Quality Registry earned historical benchmarks for two more of their registry-specific Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) measures. This brings the total benchmarked QCDR measures to four. Benchmarking is critical for pathologists looking to maximize their scores while minimizing burden. Measures with a benchmark are worth up to 10 points, therefore increasing practices’ opportunities to earn a positive payment adjustment. The Pathologists Quality Registry is the only registry with benchmarked QCDR measures for pathology and remains the highest scoring option for pathology practices.
More information about benchmarks can be found on the CMS’ website. Visit 2024 Pathology Quality Measures for information on pathology-specific measures and specifications.
