and/or Total Knee Arthroplasty (THA/TKA) performance measure
(THA/TKA PRO–PM), beginning with voluntary reporting across two
periods (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and July 1, 2024
through June 30, 2025), followed by mandatory reporting of the
measure for the reporting period which runs from July 1, 2025

We are proposing a modification to our eCQM reporting and

of eCQMs to be reported from four to six eCQMs beginning with the
CY 2024 reporting period/FY 2026 payment determination.
There has been an increase in
