      When entering allergies on patients, brand names are often used( ex.Allergy to Lipitor). The value set for statin allergy in CMS347v5 and CMS347v6 , "Statin Allergen" (2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1110.42), contains only  RxNorm codes that are generic and not inclusive of brand names 

      In order to exclude the measure, Can the statin allergy local code be mapped to one of the specific codes contained in the value set?
