    • These medications will be reviewed for the next anual update for CMS 61

      The value set with ID 2.16.840.1.113883.3.600.1476 has inappropriate entries. These include RXNORM 311723, 311724, 645146. These are not hypertensive agents in this formulation, instead these are forms of creams/foams for hair loss, most widely known as Rogaine. These are widely used and should not be included as criteria to identify the patient as hypertensive. These are probably not the only inappropriate meds in this set, which should be re-validated.
