The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its contractor, Acumen, LLC, are seeking nominations for a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) that will provide input to re-specify the Breast Cancer Screening Recall Rate measure (OP-39) that is currently in use in the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (HOQR) program.

The nomination period opened today and interested parties are invited to submit nominations between now and June 10, 2025.

We are seeking individuals with differing perspectives and areas of expertise, including clinicians with experience relevant to the measures’ clinical area (i.e., breast cancer detection) and the person and family perspective (i.e., patients, caregivers, and patient advocates).

Interested parties can submit their nomination through this web-based nomination form. For more information, please refer to the CMS Current TEP Opportunities Page. You may submit a nomination on your own behalf or on the behalf of another nominee/applicant.

If you have any questions, please contact the Acumen OP Measures TEP Support team at op-measures-tep-support@acumenllc.com.
