      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS0149v14 (Dementia: Cognitive Assessment). Documentation of the patient's reason(s) for not assessing cognition is a denominator exception, not an exclusion. This means the patient is eligible for an assessment but has a clinically valid reason not to do it. Advanced dementia, the inability to perform the test, or patient decline are valid reasons for a denominator exception.

      We would like to get confirmation on the following for Quality ID 281: Cognitive Assessment

       

      Confirm whether clinicians can exclude patients from cognitive assessment measures due to advanced dementia or inability to perform the test, in addition to patient declined.
