When the 2024 eCQM measure value sets were released EHR vendors removed 43305-5 results as a numerator qualifier because of this. The LOINC code was then added back in the latest version v2.77 released on 2024-05-02. This is impacting providers performance outcomes across the board. LabCrop & Quest use this LOINC code when reporting results for Chlamydia trachomatis rRNA [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection, which is a valid chlamydia screening test result. 

Please address - fix and provide clarification EHR’s vendor’s that this is a valid LOINC code and HAS TO BE ADDED BACK ASAP, otherwise regulatory reporting results will be significantly impacted with incorrect reporting results. There was a previous case created on 04/15/24 and resolved on 04/24/24, with the following solution: Thank you for your inquiry for CMS153v12: Chlamydia Screening in Women. Clinically equivalent services may be mapped to the codes used in "Chlamydia Screening" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.110.12.1052) to satisfy the numerator requirement. If mapping is done, you should maintain documentation in case of a CMS audit.  If you download that value set IT INCLUDES 43304-5
