Test Code for the Physican Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI)

CMS encourages all medical practices to add a test PQRI code, G8300, to any claim beginning now.  This will verify the ability of your software or claims clearinghouse to handle the PQRI codes.  Download the complete instructions from CMS here.  Although CMS will accept G3800 until July 1st, we recommend that you test it out as soon as possible so that you will receive your Remittance Advice in time to correct any problems.
