      An addendum to the ICD-10 value sets was published in January 2017 for 2017 reporting. The addendum does not cover the 4th quarter for 2016 reporting.

      CMS continues to consider options for alignment of terminology releases.

      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?
