      QUESTION CMS 160 DENOMINATOR EXCLUSION: There might be a typo for DEM EXCL 2, where all criteria has the time range of >= 5 months and <=8 months starts after start of the measurement start date; except for Care Services in Long-Term Residential Facility has the following:
       AND: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Care Services in Long-Term Residential Facility" >= 5 month(s) starts after start of "Measurement Start Date"
       AND: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Care Services in Long-Term Residential Facility" <= 8 month(s) starts before start of "Measurement Start Date"

      Statements above contradicted to each other, where the encounter occurs >=5 months AFTER the start of the measurement period
      and <= 8 month BEFORE the measurement period. Please confirm.
