      Should the vendor be calculating the first numerical value? At times the first Lab result could return:

      -Reorder requested, label error
      -Duplicate request

      and will be evaluated as missing from CMS.

      We have also seen a value for labs as:
      Patient refused testing.

      Is there a way in the measure to consider a refusal value?
      The text lab value will be counted as missing towards the 90% threshold.
