Description:

Percentage of visits for patients aged 18 years and older for which the eligible professional or eligible clinician attests to documenting a list of current medications using all immediate resources available on the date of the encounter.

Instructions

This measure is to be submitted at each denominator eligible visit during the 12-month performance period. Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians meet the intent of this measure by making their best effort to document a current, complete and accurate medication list during each encounter. There is no diagnosis associated with this measure. This measure may be submitted by MIPS-eligible clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure 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.

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 professionals or 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. For more information regarding Application Programming Interface (API), please refer to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website.

Numerator

Eligible professional or eligible clinician attests to documenting, updating, or reviewing a patient’s current medications using all immediate resources available on the date of the encounter.

You can enter medications in a patient's chart by medication history reconciliation, or adding a medication to a patient's medication list.

Definitions:

Current Medications – Medications the patient is presently taking, including all prescriptions, over-the-counter, herbals, and vitamin/mineral/dietary (nutritional) supplements with each medication’s name, dosage, frequency, and administered route.

Route – Documentation of the way the medication enters the body (some examples include but are not limited to: oral, sublingual, subcutaneous injections, and/or topical)

Not Eligible (Denominator Exception) – A patient is “not eligible” if there is documentation of a medical reason(s) for not documenting, updating, or reviewing the patient’s current medications list (e.g., the patient is in an urgent or emergent medical situation where time is of the essence and to delay treatment would jeopardize the patient's health status).

NUMERATOR NOTE: The MIPS-eligible clinician must document in the medical record they obtained, updated, or reviewed a medication list on the date of the encounter. MIPS professional or MIPS-eligible clinicians submitting this measure may document medication information received from the patient, authorized representative(s), caregiver(s), or other available healthcare resources.

This list must include ALL known prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) products, herbals, vitamins, minerals, and dietary (nutritional) supplements AND must contain the medications' name, dosage, frequency, and route of administration.


By submitting the action described in this measure, the provider attests to having documented a list of current medications utilizing all immediate resources available at the time of the encounter. G8427 should be submitted if the MIPS-eligible clinician documented that the patient is not currently taking any medications.

Performance Met:

Eligible clinician attests to documenting in the medical record they obtained, updated, or reviewed the patient’s current medications (G8427)

OR

Denominator Exception:

Eligible clinician attests to documenting in the medical record the patient is not eligible for a current list of medications being obtained, updated, or reviewed by the eligible clinician (G8430)
