      Thank you for inquiring about the Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record eCQM. Note that the measure does not specify the provider types that must report it; instead, it only refers to the qualifying encounters. Therefore, if dentists or chiropractors bill using any of the codes specified in the “Encounter to Document Medications” value set, then they are eligible to report performance on the measure. Note that dentists and chiropractors are types of clinicians who may participate in MIPS reporting if they meet the MIPS eligibility requirements. More information on eligible clinician types can be found here: https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/how-eligibility-is-determined

      Dear eCQM Support,

      Can I ask whether dentists or chiropractors need to be included in the eligible clinician types in the CMS 68 measure? Somehow I could not find them in the value set of encounter types.

      Thanks,
      Lixin
