      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS347v7. Population 4 specifically looks at 10-year ASCVD risk scores. Guidance for this measure states, “The 10-year ASCVD risk assessment must be performed during the measurement period. Any documentation of a 10-year ASCVD risk score >=20 will qualify patient for the denominator population, even if risk score changes later in the measurement period.” Therefore, a score of 20 or higher indicates that the patient meets the Initial Population criteria and qualifies for measure inclusion.

    • Unclear if the most recent ASCVD score is to be used for the denominator or if any score greater than or equal to 20 during the MY adds them to the denominator even if its calculated later in the year and is less than 20

      For MIPS 438, CMS 347. If the patient has more than one ASCVD risk score during the measurement year for population 4, do we use the most recent score or use any score greater than or equal to 20 to add them to the denominator? Even if the most recent score during the measurement year was less than 20?
