INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING: (These instructions apply to registry reporting. Do not report this measures group via claims.)
� It is not necessary to submit the measures group-specific intent G-code for registry-based
submissions. However, the measures group-specific intent G-code has been created for registry
only measures groups for use by registries that utilize claims data.

� Patient sample criteria for the Cataracts Measures Group are patients aged 18 years and older that
have a specific procedure for cataract surgery performed:
One of the fol owing procedure codes indicating cataract surgery: 66840, 66850, 66852,
Modifier 56 (preoperative management only)
� For purposes of satisfactory reporting al measures contained within the Cataracts Measures
Group, include only procedures performed through September 30 of the reporting period.
P rocedures performed October 1 through December 31 of the reporting period are not included.
� Measures #191 and #192 need only be reported when the patient also has a diagnosis of
uncomplicated cataract. Refer to the measure specification on the fol owing pages for specific
codes indicating a diagnosis of uncomplicated cataract for each of these two measures. Measures
#303 and #304 need not be reported when the cataract surgery includes a modifier 55 (post-
� Report a numerator option on al applicable measures within the Cataracts Measures Group for

� Instructions for qualifying numerator option reporting for each of the measures within the Cataracts
Measures Group are displayed on the next several pages. The fol owing composite G-code has
been created for registry only measures groups for use by registries that utilize claims data. This
composite G-code may be reported in lieu of the individual quality-data codes for each of the

measures within the group. However, it is not necessary to submit the fol owing composite G-code
Composite G-code G8765: Al quality actions for the applicable measures in the Cataracts
Measures Group have been performed for this patient
� To report satisfactorily the Cataracts Measures Group it requires al applicable measures for each
patient within the eligible professional’s patient sample to be reported each time a cataract surgery
is performed during the reporting period.
� Measures groups containing a measure with a 0% performance rate wil not be counted as
satisfactorily reporting the measures group. The recommended clinical quality action must be
performed on at least one patient for each measure within the measures group reported by the
eligible professional. P erformance exclusion quality-data codes are not counted in the performance
denominator. If the eligible professional submits al performance exclusion quality-data codes, the
performance rate would be 0/0 and would be considered satisfactorily reporting. If a measure
within a measures group is not applicable to a patient, the patient would not be counted in the
performance denominator for that measure (e.g., P reventive Care Measures Group - Measure #39:
Screening or Therapy for Osteoporosis for Women Aged 65 Years and Older would not be
applicable to male patients according to the patient sample criteria). If the measure is not
applicable for al patients within the sample, the performance rate would be 0/0 and would be
considered satisfactorily reporting. When a lower rate indicates bet er performance, such as
Measure #192, a 0% performance rate wil be counted as satisfactorily reporting (100%
performance rate would not be considered satisfactorily reporting).
� When using the 20 Patient Sample Method, report al applicable measures for the 20 unique
procedures performed (patients seen) a majority of which must be Medicare P art B FFS
procedures (patients) for the 12-month or 6-month reporting period.
NOTE: The detailed instructions in this specification apply exclusively to the reporting and analysis of the included measures under the measures groups option.

SPECIFICATION FOR MEASURES GROUP REPORTING ONLY Measure #191 (NQF 0565): Cataracts: 20/40 or Better Visual Acuity within 90 Days Fol owing Cataract Surgery DESCRIPTION:
P ercentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of uncomplicated cataract who had
cataract surgery and no significant ocular conditions impacting the visual outcome of surgery and had best-
corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or bet er (distance or near) achieved within 90 days fol owing the cataract
Note: This is an outcomes measure and can be calculated solely using registry data.
� For patients who receive the cataract surgical procedures specified in the common
denominator coding, it should be reported whether or not the patient had best-corrected visual
acuity of 20/40 or bet er achieved within 90 days fol owing cataract surgery.
� Patients who have any of the listed comorbid conditions in the exclusion criteria should be
removed from the denominator; these patients have existing ocular conditions that could
impact the outcome of surgery and are not included in the measure calculation for those
patients who have best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or bet er (distance or near) achieved
within 90 days fol owing the cataract surgery.
� Include only procedures performed through September 30 of the reporting period. This wil
al ow the post operative period to occur within the reporting year.
(P atients with documentation of any of the fol owing comorbid conditions that impact the visual outcome of surgery prior to date of cataract surgery are excluded from the measure calculation)Comorbid Condition Corresponding ICD-9-CM Codes

� For patients who receive the cataract surgical procedures specified in the denominator coding,
claims should be reviewed to determine if any of the procedure codes listed in the numerator were
performed within 30 days of the date of cataract surgery.
