Based upon the recent IPPS Proposed Rule it is understood that over 75,000 new ICD-10 codes will be added or updated and may impact the CQMs. Based upon the update to codes last October 2015, we experienced a number of fallouts in VTE measures due to missing OB codes that were not able to to be added for CQMs until 1/1/16. Therefore, three months of CQM data were impacted due to missing codes. In anticipation of the update in October 2016, we would like to know what impacts may be experienced as a result of having the CQM Value Set provided in April 2016, while new ICD-10 codes will be implemented in October 2016.
Additionally, when will the CQM Value Set releases become aligned with the annual ICD code changes?
