      For Denominator Exclusions, the CMS506v5 for 2023 measurement year indicates 'palliative care' is an exclusion.  However, the ICD-10 diagnosis code of Z51.5 - encounter for palliative care is not listed within the value set.  Would it be appropriate to map Z51.5 to the SNOMED code of 103735009 or some other option to account for this? Or would a ICD-10 diagnosis code not be acceptable?
