      We have provided a revised response to CQM-675, which was referenced in your question. CMS 129 is a patient-based measure, as defined in the “Clinical Quality eMeasure Logic and Implementation Guidance v1.5” document.

      To answer the 2nd question, the provider who performs the prostate cancer treatment, as specified in the denominator, should report on the measure.

      NQF 0389 is defined as a patient based measure but in CQM-675 issue, the solution says to treat as encounter based measure. Need confirmation for reporting.

      The following issue clarifies the reporting of CMS 129, 132, 133 as encounter based measures. CMS 129 is defined as a patient based measure. Can you confirm that CMS 129 should be reported as encounter based measure?

      2nd question: will provider running the report qualify patients where they are the responsible provider on the encounter of the prostate cancer treatment in denominator?
