Latest Update to Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Valueset OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.6929.3.1000
In reviewing the latest VSAC update, a new LOINC Code 98979-8: Glomerular filtration rate/1.73 sq M.predicted [Volume Rate/Area] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Creatinine-based formula (CKD-EPI 2021) has been added to the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Valueset OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.6929.3.1000. This LOINC code 98979-8 is currently not part of the 2023 CMS951v1 valueset.
Is LOINC Code 98979-8 expected to be valid only for the upcoming 2024 cms951v2 measure OR will there be an update to also make this LOINC code valid for the 2023 CMS951v1 measure?
Thank you!
