This question is for following eCQMs :- CMS156v9,CMS165v9, cms138v9, cms134v9, CMS130v9, cms127v9 and cms68v10. There are no explicit references to telehealth services in the measure specifications and few of the telehealth service codes are present in the value sets. Dose that means we need to explicitly check in measure that action in the Denominator and numerator cannot be completed via telehealth?
Referring to below statement from “Telehealth Guidance for Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs) for Eligible Professional/Eligible Clinician 2021 Quality Reporting”
Unless otherwise stated in this document, encounters identified with CMS telehealth-eligible codes are eligible for inclusion within the eligible professional/eligible clinician eCQMs for the 2021 performance period, whether the encounter was provided in person or via telehealth.
please note there may be instances where the quality action cannot be completed during the telehealth encounter by eligible professionals and eligible clinicians. Specifically, telehealth-eligible CPT and HCPCS codes may be included in value sets where the required quality action in the numerator cannot be completed via telehealth.
