    • ED to Inpatient STEMI patients with Mechanical Circulatory Assist Device will not have their procedures considered if coded as ICD10PCS.

      The value set for "Insertion or Replacement of Mechanical Circulatory Assist Device" currently includes code systems of SNOMEDCT and CPT. Please consider adding ICD10PCS codes to the value set. Although this is an outpatient measure, ultimately the algorithm does not assess where the patient ends there stay. ED to inpatients would have a coded procedure of ICD10.
