This report is a summary of data contained in the 2012 Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRUR) to illustrate how the Value-based Modifier (VBM) was calculated as well as the properties of the cost and quality measures that make up the VBM. This report includes descriptive information about the characteristics of groups for which CMS produced QRURs; the beneficiaries attributed to these groups; the performance, reliability, and statistical significance for all measures included in the quality and cost composite scores informing the VBM.
