      Thank you for your question regarding CMS104 Discharged on Antithrombotic Therapy.

      For CY2023 Dabigatran Etexilate Oral Pellet RXNORM codes were not available at the time annual updates were completed. They have been added to value set for CY2024. The medication value sets developed for the program contain RxNorm codes that are Semantic Clinical Drugs (SCD), generic, and prescribable. Local medication codes need to be mapped to the SCD RxNorm codes found in the value set to satisfy the electronic clinical quality measure. As relevant updates to RXNORM become available they will be considered for adjustments to the value sets for the next Annual Update cycle.

      A patient was discharged on Dabigatran Etexilate 150mg plpk.  When i look at the Antithrombotic Therapy value set (for CY 2023) i only see "Dabigatran Etexilate 150mg Oral Capsule" -  I do not see anything for "plpk" - which is pellet pack.  Can you clarify why plpk are not included in this measure? This patient is showing up as an outlier for STK-2 - Thanks!
