I am a little lost here. There are 3 types of MU requirements:
1. Core (must satisfy all 15, though one is actually the CQM's below)
2. Menu set (must do 5 of 10)
3 CQM (must do 6; 3 required and 3 alternate)
Donna, are you saying that you need a CPT JUST for the CQM counting? That is a significant finding, though one that I can understand. Do you think it affects counting for Menu items?
Adam, you seem to be saying that you need the billing codes for the core items (like vital signs). That is harder to fathom. I do not use AC for coding either and yet when I check the "meaningful use checkpoint" I see that vitals and other core items do register in the counting for that core item. Can you clarify how you see cpt coding affecting the core items?
