Demonstration of quality is required for distribution of shared savings

Practices will be using CPT II Codes and HCPCS G codes to report

compliance with the CI / ACO measures. Quality Efficiency Cost Effectiveness Demonstration of quality is required for distribution of shared savings

Practices will be using CPT II Codes and HCPCS G codes to report

compliance with the CI / ACO measures. CPT II Coding decreases the need for medical record abstraction and chart review, thereby minimizing the administrative burden on providers and other entities measuring quality of care. CPT II codes and HCPCS Codes facilitate data collection about the quality of care rendered by coding certain services and test results that support nationally established performance measures and that have an evidence base as contributing to quality patient care

CPT II codes contain five characters, with four digits followed by the letter ‘F’.

ACO preventive measures for Diabetes require the reporting of Hemoglobin A1c control. Below are the CPT Category II codes that indicate the control level.

Code Code Type Definition 3044F CPT II Most recent hemoglobin A1c level less than 7% 3045F CPT II Most recent hemoglobin A1c level 7-9% 3046F CPT II Most recent hemoglobin A1c level greater than 9%

ACO preventive measure of Influenza Immunization requires the reporting of whether Influenza Immunization was administered. Below are the HCPCS codes that indicate the status of Influenza Immunization. Code Code Type Definition

G8482 HCPCS Influenza Immunization administered or previously received G8483 HCPCS Influenza Immunization was not ordered or administered for reasons documented by clinician G8484 HCPCS Influenza Immunization was not ordered or administered, reason not given

• CPT II codes are billed in the procedure code field; just as CPT

Category I codes are billed.

• Use Category II CPT Codes with Category I CPT/HCPC Codes at

the time of service. May not be used as a substitute for Category I CPT Codes

• CPT II codes describe clinical components usually included in

evaluation and management or clinical services and are not associated with any relative value.

• Quality data code line items (CPT II codes) must be submitted with a

charge of zero dollars ($0.00).

– If your system does not allow a $0.00 line item charge, use a small amount such as $0.01.

The Toolkit has 2 Documents for every measure:

• 1. Reference Document:

– Detailed document identifying all of the criteria related to measure

• 2. Point of Care Document:

– Simplified document that identifies exactly what codes to document for specific measure
