      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS122v15 (2027 Performance Period). As specified in the guidance section of the measure, "If the glycemic status assessment (HbA1c or GMI) is in the medical record, the test can be used to determine numerator compliance." The measure requires documentation of an HbA1c or GMI assessment, identified by the "HbA1c Laboratory Test" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.198.12.1013) value set or the "Glucose Management Indicator" LOINC code (97506-0), along with the test result and date. If the glycemic status assessment is documented in the medical record and represented using the appropriate terminology included in the measure specification, it may be used for measure evaluation. The measure guidance also states that glycemic status assessments must be reported as a percentage (%).
       
      We do not provide prescriptive guidance on mapping the value sets. Equivalent services can be mapped to the measure's value sets. If mapping is done, you should maintain documentation in case of a CMS audit.
       
      If you have questions about reading the measure specification or understanding data requirements, you may refer to the "Guide for Reading eCQMs" for additional guidance. If you have questions regarding implementing the measure, you may refer to the "Implementation Checklist for eCQM Annual Update" for additional guidance. These resources can be found in the eCQI Resource Center: https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ep-ec?qt-tabs_ep=ecqm-resources&global_measure_group=eCQMs. If you have questions regarding CMS quality program reporting requirements, please review the QPP website or contact the QPP Helpdesk at QPP@cms.hhs.gov.

       I wanted to validate if for the ecqm measure titled: Diabetes: Glycemic Status Assessment Greater Than 9% with CMS ID 122, the results from a portable HbA1c device are acceptable for reporting, and if so is there any CPT or F code that needs to be documented or reported along with the results?
