      Thank you for your inquiry for CMS122v11, CMS165v11 and CMS130v11 (2023 Performance Period). Please note the distinction between eCQMs and health plan measures. The following measures are health plan level measures and are endorsed by NQF. These measures have the following classification in NQF QPS: "Measure Format: measure" and "Level of Analysis: Health Plan".

      CMS165 Controlling High Blood Pressure
      CMS122 Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Poor Control (>9%)

    • reviewing specifications - differences with NQF number and status

      Hello,

      When reviewing 2023 specifications for eCQM CMS122 and 165, the specifications list "Endorsed by: None".  However, the eCQMs are listed as endorsed on the NQF website measure look-up tool.  Also, eCQM 130 does not have a NQF number listed "Not Applicable" but does so on the NQF website measure look-up, NQF #0034 and "Endorsed by: None".  Can you please explain why there is a difference?
