Solution: We have received confirmation from the Division of Medicare Enrollment Coordination that all Medicare beneficiaries are assigned a HIC number. Therefore, for the 2016 reporting period, the PQRS system will continue to perform the same validation performed for the 2015 reporting period, which is:
The PQRS system will reject QRDA-I files where any payer includes any Medicare SOP code (all SOP codes listed below), but they don’t provide a HIC number:
 1 MEDICARE
 11 Medicare (Managed Care)
     111 Medicare HMO
     112 Medicare PPO
     113 Medicare POS
     119 Medicare Managed Care Other
 12 Medicare (Non-managed Care)
     121 Medicare FFS
     122 Medicare Drug Benefit
     123 Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA)
     129 Medicare Non-managed Care Other
 19 Medicare Other
