      Question: For the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, can I report a CQM with a zero result in the numerator and/or denominator?
      Answer: While we strongly encourage providers to report CQMs which are relevant to their patient population, zero is an acceptable result provided that this value was produced by certified EHR technology.
