CMS0145v12
Hello, I am reviewing CQM Quality ID #007 (CBE 0070): Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Beta-Blocker Therapy �C Prior Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVEF ≤ 40%).
The eCQM (CMS145v12) titled: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Beta-Blocker Therapy-Prior Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVEF <=40%) Has Denominator Exception:
"Has Arrhythmia with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Asthma with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Bradycardia with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Hypotension with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Consecutive Heart Rates Less than 50 with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Allergy or Intolerance to Beta Blocker Therapy Ingredient with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Diagnosis of Allergy or Intolerance to Beta Blocker Therapy with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI" or "Has Medical or Patient Reason for Not Ordering Beta Blocker Therapy" or "Has Atrioventricular Block with Qualifying CAD Encounter and Prior MI without Cardiac Pacer"
Could/would it be appropriate to map the eCQM Den. Exceptions to CQM Den. Exception of G9190? This code maps to: "Documentation of medical reason(s) for not prescribing beta-blocker therapy (e.g., allergy, intolerance, other medical reasons)"
