6 Incentive Payment and Payment Adjustments Reporting Period 201320142015*2016* Incentive Amount0.5% Penalty Amount-1.5%-2.0% In 2013, physicians and other eligible professionals who successfully report quality measure data can earn a 0.5% incentive payment on their total allowed charges for covered Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) services provided during the reporting period.
