Claims-Based / Administrative Data Measures

For the claims-based measures, ACOs do not need to collect or submit additional data aside from normal billing activities. The CMS ACO Program Analysis Contractor (ACO PAC) will coordinate with CMS to obtain the necessary Medicare claims files and calculate the rates for these measures for each ACO.

For ACO-11 (Use of Certified EHR Technology), the CMS ACO PAC will calculate the measure using the Quality Payment Program's Advancing Care Information category.
