As of January 1, 2015, the PQRS MOC Incentive Program will no longer exist. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted the program as a way to encourage physicians’ participation in the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), while also recognizing the value and importance of American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) programs. ABIM participated as a member board from 2012 through 2014. The ACA ended the PQRS MOC Incentive Program after 2014 (though the underlying PQRS program continues).
