CMS Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program Validation Review for Reconsideration Request

If the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determines that a hospital did not meet any of the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) Program requirements due to a confidence interval validation score of less than 75 percent and the hospital would like to request a reconsideration, the hospital must complete and submit this form, along with a copy of the entire medical record (as previously sent to the Clinical Data Abstraction Center [CDAC] Contractor) for the appealed element(s). This form and the entire medical record must be received by the Validation Support Contractor, by the deadline identified on the Hospital OQR Program Annual Payment Update (APU) Notification Letter. CMS strongly recommends sending the medical record(s) to the “Validation Support Contract” group via the CMS Managed File Transfer (MFT) application: https://qnetmft.cms.gov/. Contact validation@telligen.com for assistance. If unable to submit via MFT, you may mail to:

Telligen

Attn: Validation Support Contractor 1776 West Lakes Parkway

West Des Moines, IA 50266

Following the receipt of the request form/medical records, an email acknowledgement will be sent confirming the form has been received. Once a determination has been made, CMS will provide the formal decision regarding the reconsideration request.
