PQRS Simplified • Do not be intimidated nor frustrated that it is “more work” • It is simply informing Medicare you did a pain scale on the visit. Yes, a verbal pain scale by the patient satisfies the pain measurement. It need not be a form. • The functional scale requires a functional assessment such as a Neck Disability Index or Oswestry Lower Back Disability index, however, these must only be done every 30 days
