Recommendation Group members reviewed 27 measures across the five project areas. Each measure was discussed and voted on during the meetings. 

  • 12 measures were endorsed
  • 12 measures were endorsed with conditions
  • Consensus was not reached on 3 measures 

The meeting summaries are available on each of the five project pages:

How to Submit an Appeal 

  • Anyone may submit an appeal for a Fall 2024 endorsement decision by 11:59 PM (ET) on March 24.
  • Please email PQMsupport@battelle.org with the subject line “Appeal Submission for CBE #XXXX.”
  • If an appeal is eligible, the Appeals Committee will convene on March 31 to review the appeal. 

Appeal Eligibility Criteria 

  • Appeals of Endorsed Measures: For measures that were endorsed or endorsed with conditions, the appeal must demonstrate:
    • The appellant’s interests are directly and materially affected by the measure and Battelle’s endorsement has had, or will have, an adverse effect on those interests; and
    • A procedural error occurred, or information available by the Intent to Submit deadline was not considered, potentially impacting the decision.
  • Appeals of Measures Not Endorsed: For measures not endorsed or endorsement status has been removed, the appeal must be based on at least one of these factors:
    • Misapplication of Evaluation Criteria: Specify which of the criteria you believe were misapplied and how.
    • Improper Process: Specify the process step not followed, how it impacted the decision, and how it should have been handled. 

Learn more about eligibility criteria and the appeals process in the E&M Guidebook.  

Please email PQMsupport@battelle.org if you have any questions.
