    • Type: EC eCQMs - Eligible Clinicians
    • Resolution: Answered
    • Priority: Minor
    • Component/s: Measure
    • None
    • Yes, the patient will qualify for the initial population of this measure. The patient would then need to be evaluated against the numerator criteria.
    • CMS163v4/NQFna
    • Medium

      The Initial population in the measure suggests:
      AND "Diagnosis, Active: Diabetes" overlaps "Measurement Period"
      AND: Age >= 18 year(s) at: "Measurement Period"
      AND: Age < 75 year(s) at: "Measurement Period"
      AND: Union of:

      "Encounter, Performed: Office Visit"
      "Encounter, Performed: Face-to-Face Interaction"
      "Encounter, Performed: Preventive Care Services - Established Office Visit, 18 and Up"
      "Encounter, Performed: Preventive Care Services-Initial Office Visit, 18 and Up"
      "Encounter, Performed: Home Healthcare Services"
      "Encounter, Performed: Annual Wellness Visit"
      during "Measurement Period"

      Should the patient qualify for numerator in the below scenario:
      1. Diagnosis active in the measurement period but inactive at the time of encounter.
      2. Valid encounter during the measurement period.
