Hello.
Thank you for your question on CMS71, Anticoagulation Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter (STK-3). We apologize for the confusion regarding the the additional dose values of Enoxaparin. These values were not added to the anticoagulant therapy value set for stroke 3. They were added to the value set for antithrombotic therapy value set stroke 2&5, as you indicated. The RX Norm values sets use Semantic Clinical Drug (SCD) codes and are generalizable drug concepts and each RxNorm clinical drug name reflects the active ingredients, strengths, and dose form comprising that drug. The value set exclusion criteria for anticoagulant therapy "Excludes concepts that represent enoxaparin generally given for VTE prophylaxis."
