    • CMS0347v6

      Providers using the performance measure for CMS 347v6, Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease, question why the diagnosis Old Myocardial Infarction (I25.2) which is a sub item of Chronic Ischemic Vascular Disease is not considered as a qualifying code in the value sets, and QDM data elements of either "Myocardial Infarction" or "Ischemic Heart Disease or Other Related Diagnoses". Can this code be considered for addition to either of the related value sets?

      Data elements:
      "Diagnosis: Myocardial Infarction" using "Myocardial Infarction (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.403)"
      "Diagnosis: Ischemic Heart Disease or Other Related Diagnoses" using "Ischemic Heart Disease or Other Related Diagnoses (2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1047.46)"
