10.15.2016 Comprehensive Diabetes Care In the Technical Update memo, the list of bullets when identifying BP readings to not include were revised in the Controlling High Blood Pressure (CBP) measure. Should organizations make the same change to the Comprehensive Diabetes Care (CDC) measure?

Yes. Organizations may make this change to the CDC measure. On page 143, in step 1 of the Medical Record, organizations may delete the second and third bullets and add the following bullet:

  • Taken on the same day as a diagnostic test or procedure that requires a change in diet or medication regimen on or one day before the day of the test or procedure, with the exception of fasting blood tests.

NCQA allows organizations to make this change because it does not impact software programming for the measure.  If an organization makes this change, it must do so consistently across all members.
