Cardiomyopathy present on admission is not counting as a cardiac disease risk factor for severe maternal morbidity.
We have a patient who came in for delivery who was diagnosed during her delivery admission with "acute systolic (congestive) heart failure" (Code I50.21). She had a diagnosis present on admission of "cardiomyopathy d/t drug and external agent" (Code I42.7). I could not find I42.7 in the VSAC for ePC-07 (CMS1028v2). Is there a reason this diagnosis code would not be considered as a preexisting condition under cardiac disease for the risk variable adjustment in ePC-07?
