Plain-language verdict
As scored, the CMS file lists payment reduction Yes (Total HAC Score 1.2869; threshold 0.3792).
Reported on 2 of 6 measures; each reported measure moves the equal-weighted score by 0.5000 points.
This penalty rests on thin reported data (≤2 measures), so a single measure shift can move status relative to the threshold in a what-if sense — not a CMS prediction.
Describes scoring mechanics only. Not medical or legal advice. Any “would / would not” language is an illustration against the published threshold, not a CMS prediction.
