CMS0130v13
CMS 130 - Colorectal Cancer Screening includes the following exclusion:
"Exclude patients 66 and older by the end of the measurement period who are living long term in a nursing home on or before the end of the measurement period."
Within the electronic medical record, we are able to identify patients residing in a nursing home/skilled nursing facility within the measurement period. Are we required to further delineate between patients residing in a nursing home/skilled nursing facility long-term versus patients who are in the nursing home/skilled nursing facility for short-term needs such as rehabilitation?
