Under the existing process for the quality and improvement performance categories, if we receive multiple submissions for an individual clinician, group, subgroup, or virtual group from submitters from separate organizations (for example, registry, practice administrator, or EHR vendor), we score each submission and assign the highest of the scores for the performance category
For example, if the aged/non-dual eligible population represents 82 percent of an ACO's overall assigned population for the performance year, we are assuming that 82 percent of improper payments attributable to the ACO's entire assigned population are associated with aged/non-dual eligible beneficiaries
