      Thank you for your question. The medication should be active for 84 days of the 114 days after the dispensing event (Occurrence A). What happens to the medication after the 114 days post Occurrence A of medication dispensed should not affect the numerator calculations.

      Numerator states below:

      Medication, Active: Antidepressant Medication (cumulative medication duration >= 84 day(s))" <= 114 day(s) ends after start of "Occurrence A of Medication, Dispensed: Antidepressant Medication

      So if the patient has Medication active:Antidepressant Medication which ends after 114 days of Medication, Dispensed: Antidepressant Medication then do we need to exclude that patient from measure ie patient will get Performance NOT MET status or do that patient's medication difference till 114 days needs to consider to calculate cumulative duration.

      Kindly suggest.
