JBS, up until today I was never entering a CPT code ever, not once in my life did I use that. I could not understand why the numerator and denominator under the REQUIRED CORE CQM's were all registered a zero. However I had been using MU live in the office for three weeks, and records hundreds of office visits. yet not one numerator or denominator registered in these fields.

Then Donna posted as above. It fixed my problem.

Since today, I am entering CPT codes and I have several entries in the numerator and denominator fields of the CORE CQM's. That was the fix.

TO CLARIFY: Prior to using CPT codes, I was getting registries in the CQM Alternates (not the Alternate Core CQM's , but the CQM Alternates). These were unaffected by using CPT entries.

for added clarification, I am specifically referencing the HTN, Preventive Care/Tobacco, and Weight screening measures of the Required Core CQM. These were all registered as zero. But now these are recording entries and everything on the report seems good.

does this make sense?
