    • We have ran reports for this measure using multiple registry platforms and some of the platforms allow "total cup" to qualify as a cup to disc ratio and others do not. I need to know if this form of cup to disc ratio documentation is acceptable.

      Hello, the measure specification sheet for this measure states that "Optic nerve head evaluation includes examination of the cup to disc ratio and identification of optic disc or retinal nerve abnormalities."

      Can you please confirm if "total cup", "full cup", "complete cupping" or the likewise are acceptable forms of documentation for the cup to disc ratio?
