    • Priority: Major
    • Component/s: Guidance, Measure
    • Need clarification: AND: Birthdate:Patient Characteristic Birthdate = 2 year(s) starts before end of Measurement Period. Should a patient that is 16 months old at the end of the measurement period count in the Denominator?

    • The intent of the measure is to include only children that turn 2 during the measurement period. You are correct that a patient turning 16 months on the day the MP ends would not be included in the measure.
