      Thank you for your inquiry specific to CMS951v1: Kidney Health Evaluation Measure. The LOINC code 98979-8 was added to the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.6929.3.1000 during the eCQM VSAC annual update process for PY 2024. The LOINC code 98979-8 is valid for the CMS951v2 measure only, as no other changes can be made to CMS951v1 at this time. We encourage you to use LOINC code 77147-7 at this time and prepare for the adoption and utilization of LOINC code 98979-8 in January 2024. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
