Yes, NCQA recently identified and corrected an internal administrative error related to the Osteoporosis Management in Women (OMW) measure.
As part of NCQA's routine oversight process for all measures, certain value sets related to quantitative ultrasound (QUS) were prematurely removed from the OMW measure specifications. They have since been reinstated for measurement year 2026.
The value sets are now undergoing further assessment as part of a broader examination of the Osteoporosis measure bundle, consistent with NCQA’s ongoing efforts to ensure measures are aligned with scientifically sound and methodologically credible standards of care. Any future updates to value sets will be made and communicated in accordance with established notification requirements.
NCQA regrets any confusion this may have caused.
The updated HEDIS MY 2026 Value Set Directory was made available on April 15 to all purchasers of HEDIS MY 2026 Volume 2 publication through the My Downloads section of My NCQA. The April version of the Value Set Directory must be used for HEDIS MY 2026 reporting.
