When testing Diabetes: Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Management in the Validation Utility Tool for the 2016 Reporting Period (2015 Measure Specs), the only way we can get our test patient into the IPP and Denominator is to add an encounter and diagnosis in 2015.

Per the CMS163v4 spec, we would expect the encounter and diagnosis to be sometime in 2016; however this fails in the validation utility tool.

I posted this on the Project Cypress Talk google group, and Sam Sayer asked if I could create a JIRA ticket and include the actual document we used so you guys could investigate.

Hope this helps.
