    • Deferred until measure is updated-- part of larger value set harmonization. Duplicate report in CQM-233.

      Palliative Care SNOMED codes are included in the Value Set for these measures.

      • In the following measures, ICD-9 code V66.7 and ICD-10 code Z51.5 were included for Palliative Care (in addition to the SNOMED codes):

      NQF 0421

      "Preventive Care and Screening: Risk-Stratified Cholesterol - Fasting Low Density
      Lipoprotein (LDL-C)"

      "Preventive Care and Screening: Cholesterol - Fasting Low Density
      Lipoprotein (LDL-C) Test Performed"

      All measures that include Palliative Care should have consistent coding offered.
