Benefits of CQRS Local for Primary Care Providers

Calculating Quality Reporting Service (CQRS) Local has been built with input from general practices. The system offers several benefits for primary care providers, including GP practices and PCNs:

• flexibility in managing local incentives schemes through a payment tool that leads to prompt payments
• a single point of access for local and national claims
• payments made directly to the practice bank account, in the same way as national payments
• a reduction in the administrative overhead of submitting Excel-based claims
• a reduced risk of inaccurate claims
• no need for practices to submit invoices following the approval of a claim
• the ability to track all stages of the claims process following submission
• enhanced reporting capability for reconciliation of payment, making it easier for providers to understand what payments have been made against the activities claimed
• manage Bulk Claims made on behalf of multiple providers.
