    • Thank you for your inquiry. NCQA measures do not currently allow for patient refusal of services. We will look into this for the next Annual Update.

      Is there any clinical intent by the measure developer for not providing the denominator exception conditions like below, the way it is provided for Influenza Immunization ?

      • Communication: From Patient to Provider: Pneumococcal Vaccination Declined"
      • "Procedure, Performed not done: Medical Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccination"
      • "Procedure, Performed not done: Patient Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccination"
      • "Procedure, Performed not done: System Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccination"
      • "Immunization, Administered not done: Medical Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccine"
      • "Immunization, Administered not done: Patient Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccine"
      • "Immunization, Administered not done: System Reason" for "Pneumococcal Vaccine"

      This is a concern from few of our clients as some of their patients declines for the Pneumococcal Vaccine and because no exception conditions are provided, these kind of patients stays in their denominator affecting their performance.
