    • Thank you for submitting this issue. The pregnancy exclusion for the 65 and older population will be eliminated from the exclusion criteria for the 2015 annual update.
    • Unnecessary query

      I'd just like to point out that since the inception of this measure and through 2 updates, it still requires a check to see if a patient age 65 or older is pregnant. This requires a computer to process this query each and every time it is run, which makes the code inefficient. This is not consistent with either the evidence the measure is based on or the intent of the measure.
