Confusion in the field as to which patients are denominator exclusions and which one are not.
I was watching issue CQM-5240 regarding diagnosis code Z51.5 not being in the value set. As an observer, I don't see an true resolution for this issue. Is the resolution that Z51.5 is not and should not be included in this value set at this point in time?
This value set is also used by:
- EC eCQM CMS 159v10 (Depression Remission w/in 12 Months)
- EC eCQM CMS 347v5 (Statin Therapy)
- EC eCQM CMS 69v10 (Prevention: BMI Screening & Follow-Up)
Does the resolution to CQM-5240 regarding CMS 506v4 also apply to these three EC measures?
