    • Factor Xa Inhibitors, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban, were the only medications added to Pharmacological VTE Prophylaxis code set.

      Do you know the rationale behind only adding two Factor Xa Inhibitors RIvaroxaban and Betrixaban) to pharmacological code set as an option to met VTE prophylaxis?
      FDA has approved Apixaban for VTE prophylaxis regardless of having AFib.
