I have 2 questions for these statements, pls see questions 1 and 2:
<= 4 month(s) ends before or during "Measurement End Date"
<= 4 month(s) starts before or during "Measurement End Date"
1. the IPP 1 section-
o AND:
OR: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Office Visit"
OR: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Psych Visit"
<= 4 month(s) ends before or during "Measurement End Date"
If the measurement period is January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014
Would this mean these encounters already performed:
January – August or September – December 31, 2014
2. • Denominator Exclusions 1 =
o AND:
OR: "Patient Characteristic Expired: Deceased"
OR: "Intervention, Order: Palliative Care"
OR: "Diagnosis, Active: Bipolar Disorder"
OR: "Diagnosis, Active: Personality Disorder"
OR: "Encounter, Performed: Care Services in Long-Term Residential Facility"
<= 4 month(s) starts before or during "Measurement End Date"
What period (months) would this cover? Again, the measurement period is January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014
