      Thank you for your question regarding CMS645v6, Bone density evaluation for patients with prostate cancer and receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

       

      If the SNOMED CT code 456381000124102 is not assigned to the case(s), the patient(s) will not meet the Initial Population. The RXNorm codes found in the Androgen deprivation therapy for Urology Care value set would not apply because the SNOMED CT code (456381000124102) is only used to meet the Order for 12 Months of ADT During Measurement Period definition. There is no equivalent for SNOMED CT 456381000124102 that would meet the stated criteria.

       

      As referred to in the Guidance section of the measure, in order to capture the practitioner's intent of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for a period of 12 months or greater, SNOMEDCT 456381000124102 which is Injection of leuprolide acetate for twelve month period (regime/therapy) is the correct code.

      What is the guidance on applying "intent" of SNOMED CT code 456381000124102 when an EHR does not use nor capture said data element?*+

       

      +*Are the RxNorm codes in the value set for OID 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1151.48 sufficiently capturing the "intent"? If not, please provide the RxNorm code that is the equivalent of the SNOMED CT code listed above.
