Numerator

Individuals in the denominator who have a Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) of at least 0.8 for antipsychotic medications NUMERATOR NOTE: The PDC is calculated as follows:

PDC NUMERATOR:

The PDC numerator is the sum of the days covered by the days supply of all antipsychotic prescriptions. The period covered by the PDC starts on the day the first prescription is filled (index date) and lasts through the end of the measurement period, or death, whichever comes first. For prescriptions with a days supply that extends beyond the end of the measurement period, count only the days for which the drug was available to the individual during the measurement period. If there are prescriptions for the same drug (generic name) on the same date of service, keep the prescription with the largest days supply. If prescriptions for the same drug (generic name) overlap, then adjust the prescription start date to be the day after the previous fill has ended.

PDC DENOMINATOR:

The PDC denominator is the number of days from the first prescription date through the end of the measurement period, or death date, whichever comes first.

Numerator Options:

Performance Met:

Individual had a PDC of 0.8 or greater (G9512)

OR

Performance Not Met:

Individual did not have a PDC of 0.8 or greater (G9513)
