Hello,
       Please, let us guide about scoring against CMS138 measure has skipped to benchmark and set it to docile points 3 and shows class2

Please help what is logic behind class 2

measures and how it is identified?

Hi,

Measure 226's historical benchmark was removed recently by CMS as the measure had changed significantly enough to warrant the historic benchmark for most instances (all except WI) not applicable. This measure will be scored against a PY benchmark after the submission window is closed.
