      ​​Thank you for your inquiry about CMS130v11: Colorectal Cancer Screening. For a patient to be eligible for the initial population, they must be between 46-75 years of age by the end of the measurement period. The measure's description indicates the age range of 45-75 because it includes the lowest age captured in the measure taking into account the look-back period.

      For this measure, does the measure include patients aged 45 - 75 or is it patients aged 46 - 75? In the measure description, it states percentage of adults 45-75 years of age who had appropriate screening for colorectal cancer and in the initial population and measure logic, it states patients 46-75 years of age by the end of the measurement period with a visit during the measurement period.
