1 Description of Measure OP-8: MRI LUMBAR SPINE FOR LOW BACK PAIN This measure calculates the percentage of MRI of the Lumbar Spine studies with a diagnosis of low back pain on the imaging claim and for which the patient did not have prior claims-based evidence of antecedent conservative therapy. Antecedent conservative therapy may include (see subsequent details for codes): 1. Claim(s) for physical therapy in the 60 days preceding the Lumbar Spine MRI. 2. Claim(s) for chiropractic evaluation and manipulative treatment in the 60 days preceding the Lumbar Spine MRI. 3. Claim(s) for evaluation and management in the period >28 days and <60 days preceding the Lumbar Spine MRI. Numerator Statement MRI of the lumbar spine studies with a diagnosis of low back pain (from the denominator) without the patient having claims-based evidence of prior antecedent conservative therapy. Technical Note: The numerator measurement of prior conservative therapy is based on the claim date of the MRI of the lumbar spine from the denominator, with the prior conservative therapy within the defined time periods relative to each MRI lumbar spine claim (i.e., a patient can be included in the numerator count more than once, if the patient had more than one MRI lumbar spine procedure in the measurement period and the MRI lumbar spine procedure occurred on different days). Denominator Statement MRI of the lumbar spine studies with a diagnosis of low back pain on the imaging claim. Technical Notes: 1. The diagnosis of low back pain must be on the MRI lumbar spine claim (i.e., the lumbar spine MRI must be billed with a low back pain diagnosis in one of the diagnoses fields on the claim). MRI lumbar spine studies without a diagnosis of low back pain on the claim are not included in the denominator count. 2. If a patient had more than one MRI lumbar spine study for a diagnosis of low back pain on the same day only one study would be counted, but if a patient had multiple MRI lumbar spine studies with a diagnosis of low back pain on the claim during the measurement period each study would be counted (i.e., a patient can be included in the denominator count more than once). 1 Revised April 2014
