We will expand this value set to include prior MIs during the 2016 annual update. The new value set will include the codes referenced un your question and comment.
The Acute Myocardial Infarction value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.104.12.1001) includes ICD-9 code 410.91 "Acute myocardial infarction of unspecified site, initial episode of care". However, it does not include ICD-9 code 410.90 "Acute myocardial infarction of unspecified site, episode of care unspecified" or ICD-9 code 410.92 "Acute myocardial infarction of unspecified site, subsequent episode of care".
This issue seems to affect all ICD-9 codes in this value set where 410.x1 is included but 410.x0 and 410.x2 are not.
Was this intentional, and if so, why?
