Instructions
This measure is to be submitted a minimum of once per performance period for all patients 19 years of age and older on the date of the encounter. This measure may be submitted by Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure for patients age 19 years of age and older based on the services provided and the measure-specific denominator coding.
NOTE: Patient encounters for this measure conducted via telehealth (e.g., encounters coded with GQ, GT, 95, or POS 02 modifiers) are allowable.
This measure will be calculated with 4 performance rates:
1) Percentage of patients (19 years of age and older on the date of the encounter) who received an influenza vaccine on or between July 1 of the year prior to the measurement period and June 30 of the measurement period
2) Percentage of patients (19 years of age and older on the date of the encounter) who received at least 1 tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccine or 1 tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine between 9 years prior to the encounter and the end of the measurement period
3) Percentage of patients (50 years of age and older on the date of the encounter) who received at least 1 dose of the herpes zoster live vaccine or 2 doses of the herpes zoster recombinant vaccine anytime on or after the patients’ 50th birthday
4) Percentage of patients (66 years of age or older on the date of the encounter) who were administered any pneumococcal conjugate vaccine or polysaccharide vaccine, on or after their 60th birthday and before the end of the measurement period
NOTE: Submission of the 4 performance rates is required for this measure. A weighted average, which is the sum of the performance numerator values divided by the sum of performance denominator values, will be used for performance.
Measure Submission Type:
Measure data may be submitted by individual MIPS eligible clinicians, groups, or third party intermediaries. The listed denominator criteria are used to identify the intended patient population. The numerator options included in this specification are used to submit the quality actions as allowed by the measure. The quality data codes listed do not need to be submitted by MIPS eligible clinicians, groups, or third party intermediaries that utilize this modality for submissions; however, these codes may be submitted for those third party intermediaries that utilize Medicare Part B claims data.
Description
Percentage of patients 19 years of age and older who are up-to-date on recommended routine vaccines for influenza; tetanus and diphtheria (Td) or tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis (Tdap); zoster; and pneumococcal.
