      ​Thank you for your question regarding CMS506: Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. Please refer to the Denominator Exclusions statement in the measure header which states “…or are receiving palliative or hospice care (including comfort measures, terminal care, and dying care) during the encounter…” The logic requires the palliative or hospice care be during the inpatient encounter or a discharge disposition from the inpatient encounter.

      Could you please clarify the dates for hospice and palliative care for this metrics regarding PY5? The metric language is vague and our source code reviewer had a question about how this should be interpreted. Thank you
