      ​Thank you for your inquiry about CMS122v12, Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Poor Control (> 9%). Individuals who are pregnant are not excluded in the Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Poor Control (>9%) measure. Individuals who are pregnant and living with diabetes should still continue proper diabetes care, which includes controlling HbA1c. The 2023 American Diabetes Association Standards of Care recommend a target HbA1c of <6%-7% in individuals who are pregnant. These individuals are not excluded from the measure since they are still part of the diabetic population and should continue managing their diabetes.

    • Inquiring about CMS's reasoning for not including pregnancy as an exclusion for CMS 122 HbA1c Poor Control

      There are some external reporting programs for HbA1c for patients with diabetes that include an exclusion for pregnancy.  What is the reasoning for CMS not having a pregnancy exclusion?  

      Thank you
