      For the 2015 Reporting Period, eCQM Specifications for Eligible Professionals Update July 2014 (http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/2014_eCQM_EligibleProfessional_July2014.zip) MUST be used.

      During the July 2014 eCQM annual update, eCQMs were updated and the version numbers were increased by 1 from the prior year’s annual update specifications. You cannot submit for the 2015 reporting period based on the June 2013 EP eCQM specifications, for example, using CMS131v2 and CMS2v3, as these were updated to become CMS131v3, CMS2v4 in the July 2014 eCQM specifications.

      We have implemented eCQM version 2 for PQRS Measure Report submission. Our customers was able to submit successfully and validation was getting passed for reporting year 2014 in Submission Engine Validation Tool . But now for reporting period 2015 , we are getting validation errors.

      From our investigation it looks like that validation tool is now expecting version 3 GUIDs, So can our customer submit it on version 2 for Year 2015? or we need to update our code to support version 3?

      For the 2015 reporting period, the eCQM specifications for EP July 2014 Update must be used, but this CQM version 3. Can our customers submit CQM v2 for reporting year 2015.
      Validation tool using - qualitynet.org/pqrs .

      Early help would be much appreciated as submission date is near.

      Thanks in advance.
