as a qcdr, we want to submit qpp measures using our token for json api and we have non qpp specialty measures approved by cms which we want to submit additionally via xml.  it is easier for us to do this than to program the non qpp measures into our application.  if we send an npi or group's qpp measures in a json file and a second file in xml for the non qpp, will they both be accepted and scored in aggregate for our providers?

Hi Louis,

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't recognize the terminology. You will need to submit all measures using the same format otherwise it will overwrite the previous submissions with each subsequent submission.

Hi Louis,

To clarify on the overwrite -  If you submit JSON via API, and then XML via file upload, then the XML will overwrite. But if the XML is also through API, then you have the choice to overwrite or append. For example, if you're using the API, you would POST /measurement-sets with the first set of measures (in JSON), and then use PATCH /measurement-sets with the second set of measures (in XML) to add it to the same measurment-set. So you'll need to use the same submission method (API or upload), but can use different different formatting (JSON vs XML).
