Footnotes:

1. In PY 2022, DCEs must meet the 30th percentile threshold on at least one of two claims-based measures (ACR or UAMCC) to receive the full 1% of the Quality Withhold tied to performance (P4P). A sliding scale is applied to DCEs that do not meet the 30th percentile threshold. Please refer to the PY 2022 Quality Measurement Methodology (QMMR) document for more details.

2. DCEs can earn up to 100% of the 1/5 of the Quality Withhold percentage tied to P4P.

3. In PY 2022, 4/5 of the 5% Quality Withhold (i.e., 4% of the financial benchmark) is tied to reporting (P4R).  The 4/5 will be comprised of 2/5 connected to the claims-based quality measures and 2/5 connected to the CAHPS survey in PY 2022.  See note 4 below.

4. DCEs will earn 100% of the 2/5 related to claims-based quality measure reporting (no action required by DCEs). DCEs may earn 100% of the 2/5 connected to CAHPS by authorizing a CMS-approved vendor to administer the CAHPS survey in PY 2022
