      Is the intention that all encounters in the numerator are with the same EP? Consider a patient who is seen by a primary care physician. For one visit, the provider is unavailable, and the patient is seen by a colleague of the PCP. The patient is seen multiple times by the PCP, but the colleague only sees the patient once, and the patient fails the measure for the 2nd provider.
