Description
Percentage of patients with referrals, regardless of age, for which the referring provider receives a report from the provider to whom the patient was referred.
Instructions
This measure is to be submitted a minimum of once per performance period for all patients with a referral during the performance period. This measure may be submitted by Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure for the patients for whom a referral was made during the performance period based on the services provided and the measure-specific denominator coding. The provider who refers the patient to another provider is the provider who should be held accountable for the performance of this measure. All MIPS-eligible professionals or eligible clinicians reporting on this measure should note that all data for the reporting year is to be submitted by the deadline established by CMS. Therefore, all MIPS eligible professionals or eligible clinicians who refer patients towards the end of the performance period (i.e., November - December), should request that providers to whom they referred their patients share their consult reports as soon as possible in order for those patients to be counted in the measure numerator during the performance period. When providers to whom patients are referred communicate the consult report as soon as possible with the referring providers, it ensures that the communication loop is closed in a timely manner and that the data is included in the submission to CMS.
NOTE: Patient encounters for this measure conducted via telehealth (e.g., encounters coded with GQ, GT, 95, or POS 02 modifiers) are allowable.
Measurement 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. For more information regarding Application Programming Interface (API), please refer to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website.

Numerator
The number of patients with a referral, for which the referring provider received a report from the provider to whom the patient was referred.
Definitions:
Referral: A request from one physician or other eligible providers to another practitioner for evaluation, treatment, or co-management of a patient's condition. This term encompasses referral and consultation as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Report: A written document prepared by the eligible clinician (and staff) to whom the patient was referred and that accounts for his or her findings, provide a summary of care information about findings, diagnostics, assessments, and/or plans of care, and is provided to the referring eligible clinician.
NUMERATOR NOTE: The consultant report that will fulfill the referral should be completed after the referral and should be related to the referral for which it is attributed. If there are multiple consultant reports received by the referring provider which pertain to a particular referral, use the first consultant report to satisfy the measure.
The provider to whom the patient was referred should be the same provider that sends the report.
Numerator Options: The following codes can be entered in the HCPCS code section for the visit.
Performance Met:
The provider who referred the patient to another provider received a report from the provider to whom the patient was referred (G9969)
OR
Performance Not Met:
The provider who referred the patient to another provider did not receive a report from the provider to whom the patient was referred (G9970)
