Good Morning,

My provider has a patient who's pathology came back severely atypical and stated "cannot rule our early evolving melanoma". We of course are going to clinically treat this as a melanoma but I'm wondering in regard to PQRS, do I still complete those steps?

Thanks in advance
 
If you are looking at the melanoma measure for pathologists then your provider is not obligated to report on the melanoma. I am a coder for a pathology group and there is a measure for melanoma reporting but only for pathologists. I am not sure if there is a measure for specialists and melanoma. If there is, and your provider is treating the patient for melanoma then you would have to report whatever is required for the measure.
