      Thank you for the examples. We appreciate your suggestion to include comparable ICD-10-PCS/CPT codes in the value set for the “Endotracheal Intubation”

      For clarity, we are referring to the value set linked here:

      https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/valueset/2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1045.69/expansion

       

      CPT codes, such as 31500, can be used in both the inpatient and outpatient settings but we understand the scenario you would like to capture.

       

      In addition, we appreciate your suggestion to include ICD-10-DGN code J96.0 for respiratory failure in the value set for the “Cardiopulmonary Arrest” measure exclusion.

       

      To ensure accurate measure calculation, we recommend working with your EHR vendor to document patient diagnoses and procedures using the codes in the value sets. In the meantime, the measure developer will consider refinements to these denominator exclusion’s value sets during a future Annual Update.

    • Codes for exclusion on this measure.

      When abstracting and reviewing a chart, there seems to be a mismatch with the codes for this measure, are the codes outpt or inpt.  This patient was intubated and then transferred to another facility, our coding department states the codes provided are inpt codes not outpt.  Procedure code was entered. Can the specs be updated?  Our facility doesn't use SNOMED codes, just ICD10.  Appreciate consideration.
