    • zero for numerator compliance for this measure even when the test is appropriate to meet criteria for this measure

      LOINC code 98979-8 is not included in Numerator values set but the LOINC code 77147-7 is included. They have the same Part Description LP31686-6. Please advise. We have a lab that is currently sending back the 98979-8 code and it is not numerator compliant but it should meet the requirements for the measure.
