      Thank you for your question. After careful consideration and review of the measure requirements, it was determined that the codes are appropriate for the value set since the value set includes procedures related to both Arterial and Umbilical vessels. The codes were reviewed and approved by the steward prior to publishing the measure.

      There are a number of values in the set "Arterial or Umbilical Venous Cath Group" which are not related to the placement of an umbilical arterial or venous line in a newborn. As a general rule, almost all values that do not contain the word "umbilical" should be removed.
