Thank you for your question regarding CMS122v11. A patient reported HbA1c test can be counted towards HbA1c testing provided that the results are sent to a laboratory or provider's office for analysis. The data must be entered into an EHR and the documented test must use a LOINC code found in the "HbA1c Laboratory Test" value set. The required documentation is a laboratory test performed, the result from the test, and the date of the test. Hope this helps.
