      The denominator exclusions for prior uterine procedures are overlooking three important factors that are taken into account in the parallel Core Measure.

      • Prior uterine surgery resulting in a perforation of uterus
      • History of uterine window during prior uterine surgery
      • History of uterine rupture requiring surgical repair

      1.) Please consider the addition of these Denominator Exclusions for the April 1, 2013 measure update to align the measures.
