The 2024 version of QID 001 - Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Poor Control (>9%) states the Denominator includes: "Patients 18 - 75 years of age, with diabetes with a visit during the measurement period"

We have interpreted this as the patient must have an active/open diagnosis of diabetes at the end of the measurement period. For example, the patient could have the diabetes diagnosis in 2021, and as long as there is no end date, the patient would qualify for that requirement.

Our customer has interpreted this requirement as the patient needing documentation during the measurement period of the diabetes diagnosis.

Please clarify the timing requirement for the diabetes diagnosis. Thank you
