CMS-1835 I posted a question in comments on 4/29/16 but status is closed so I wondered if I should have created an issue since that is not being monitored any longer.

      We apologize for the delay in responding to this issue. We were able to confirm with CMS that CMS submission systems will accept null values the codes for value sets that are negated in the 2015 annual update, which corresponds to the 2016 Performance/Reporting period for all datatypes with the exception of "Device, Not Done". This is due to a standards misalignment issue in the Clinical Document Architecture which will be corrected at a future date. For "Device, Not Done" guidance please refer to the CMS QRDA Implementation Guide.

      This question is directed to Julia Skapik regarding her comment dated 4/11/2016. I was directed by Dr. Sturges at CMS to ask what she found out from the CMS data submission vendors. May our vendor go ahead with the utilization of the nullflavor for this 2016 data submission? I await your reply. Thank you.
