JIRA 590 - CMS 158 non-IPP patient
■ Cypress does not “expect” a patient that should be in IPP for CMS 158
■ This is a very specific bug that only occurs when
– 0 days “start before or during” is used (only CMS158v3)
– Time range spans over the day boundary
■ This error is non-deterministic and occurs due to data randomization

CMS158v4
updated to use
“overlaps”

JIRA 591 - CAT 3 validation bug for
performance rate
■ Cypress and Cypress Validation Tool return confusing error
messages when performances rates have rounding errors
■ This will happen when a value of .666666 is reported and
Cypress is expecting .666667
– The Cypress validation correctly rounds the performance rate,
and the Cypress error message displays the wrong value
■ The CMS 2016 Combined Implementation Guide specifies
– The following rounding rules must be used when submitting
performance rates:
■ For a calculated performance rate that has >= 7 digits after the
decimal point, round the decimal number to the millionth.
■ For a calculated performance rate that has <= 6 digits after the
decimal point, rounding is not permitted for the performance rate.

JIRA 597 – Exception thrown in Cat III
test
■ Cypress 2.6.1 validates that QRDA III files do not include
duplicate Measure and Population Ids
■ The following exception is thrown when
– Duplicate population Ids are in the file AND
– The duplicate population Ids are not valid
