      CMS129 is now specified to require the FIRST prostate cancer treatment during the measurement period. If you are implementing the 2014 specification, then you should report on the first prostate cancer treatment. However, you should verify the requirements of which measure version you are required to use (and/or recommended to use) via CMS’ eCQM website: http://cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/eCQM_Library.html[cms.gov].

    • CMS129v1/NQF0389
    • Need for coding on this measure

      In 2013, the denominator inclusions asked for ... "AT LEAST ONE prostate cancer treatment with the eligible professional during the measurement period."
      In 2014, the denominator inclusions asks for ... "◦AND: FIRST: "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Prostate Cancer Treatment" during "Measurement Period"

      My question is-
      For this year (2014), Would we need to actually capture the very FIRST treatment or would be ok to capture AT LEAST ONE like we did in 2013.
      Thanks !
