      Thank you for your question on CMS347v7: Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease. Any patient assessed for ASCVD risk during the measurement with at least one score of 20% or greater in the patient record would be included in Population 4 of the measure (assuming said patient did not meet criteria for Populations 1-3). Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

      CMS 347 - Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of CV Disease: The measure specification identifies Population 4 as 'Patients aged 40-75 years at the beginning of the measurement period with a 10-year ASCVD risk score >= 20 percent'.

      In the following scenario, the patient had multiple ASCVD Risk scores calculated in the measurement period.  

      • Eligible visit on 1/4/2024 with ASCVD risk score of 19.3
      • Eligible visit on 3/25/2024 with ASCVD risk score of 24.2
      • Eligible visit on 6/21/2024 with ASCVD risk score of 19.5

      Which ASCVD risk score should be utilized to determine inclusion in Population 4?  Does an ASCVD risk score >= 20 at any time during the measurement period count or should we utilize the most recent ASCVD risk score which did not meet the >= 20 percent threshold?
