1 2016 Physician Quality Reporting System Data Collection Form: Diabetic Retinopathy (for patients aged 18 through 75) IMPTANT: Any measure with a 0% performance rate (100% for inverse measures) is not considered satisfactory reporting. Review your PQRS Submission Summary report, available after entering your data, to ensure this is not an issue. Each measure answer is identified as Performance Met (PM), Performance Not Met (PNM) or Performance Exclusion (PE). More information on this rule is available within the Covisint PQRS Web Application. Note: This measures group contains one or more inverse measures. An inverse measure is a measure that represents a poor clinical quality action as meeting performance for the measure. For these measures, a lower performance rate indicates a higher quality of clinical care. Composite codes for measures groups that contain inverse measures are only utilized when the appropriate quality clinical care is given. Patient sample criteria for the Diabetic Retinopathy Measures Group are: patients aged years with a specific diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy accompanied by a specific patient encounter: One of the following ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes indicating diabetic retinopathy: E10.311, E10.319, E10.321, E10.329, E10.331, E10.339, E10.341, E10.349, E10.351, E10.359, E11.311, E11.319, E11.321, E11.329, E11.331, E11.339, E11.341, E11.349, E11.351, E11.359, E13.311, E13.319, E13.321, E13.329, E13.331, E13.339, E13.341, E13.349, E13.351, E Accompanied by one of the following patient encounter codes: 92002, 92004, 92012, 92014, 99202, 99203, 99204, 99205, 99212, 99213, 99214, Measure #19 does not need to be reported (is not applicable) when the reporting provider manages the patient s diabetes care. Measure #317 does not need to be reported (is not applicable) if the patient has an active diagnosis of hypertension. **Note: Refer to the Covisint PQRS2016 Applicable Measure Group Codes document which contains a list of diagnosis, encounter, and procedure codes for each measures group. Not all measures groups require all 3 code types. REFER TO THE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY MEASURES GROUP WITHIN THE CMS 2016 PQRS MEASURES GROUPS SPECIFICATIONS F CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND FURTHER INFMATION.
