Definition
This measure evaluates the extent primary care physicians (PCPs) provide care-based and procedural-based services core to primary care.
Numerator
The numerator is a weighted sum of core primary care services in both categories (19 care-based and 22 procedure-based services) that the PCP provides. The numerator calculation is in the "Additional Supporting Documentation" Section.
The full Measure Calculation Algorithm is in the "Additional Supporting Documentation" Section.
Denominator
The denominator comprises the weighted proportions of 2 Core Primary Care Services categories. See care-based services and procedure-based services listed in Table 1: List of Core Primary Care Services in the "Additional Supporting Documentation" Section.
A common denominator is derived algebraically to combine the two weighted categories. As shown in the Calculation Algorithm section (see "Additional Supporting Documentation" Section) the denominator will always be 418: 19 care-based services X 22 procedure-based services = 418.
Full Measure Calculation Algorithm is in the "Additional Supporting Documentation" Section.
