      Brief description of measure
      CMS646: Intravesical Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer:
      Percentage of patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and who received intravesical Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) within 6 months of bladder cancer staging.

      Description of issue
      The denominator exception language in the header does not clearly describe the logic and timing. The measure developer would like to reduce confusion by implementers and provide additional language.

      Goal of review
      Obtain clinical feedback
