      Thank you for your inquiry about the Denominator exclusions for CMS122v10, CMS131v10, and CMS 134v10. The PY2022 eCQM specifications are final and therefore cannot be revised. The parenthesis misplacement should not impact the performance for the measures. The age requirement that a patient be 66 or older only applies to logic corresponding to the Frailty and Long Term Care exclusions. It does not impact the criteria for palliative care. We will consider making revisions during our current annual update cycle.

      The HTML human-readable for CMS122v10, CMS131v10, and CMS 134v10 have the Denominator exceptions closing parenthesis for the palliative care section in the incorrect place. This was confirmed in Jira ticket CQM-4776 Jira ticket as a mistake. The resolution states this would be reviewed in the upcoming maintenance cycle. In a comment on the same ticket, it was mentioned that this incorrect parenthesis placement would be reviewed and addressed in the current annual update. 
      I am looking for clarification on when we could expect this correction to be available for 2022 reporting.
