      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS334v5/PC-02 (Cesarean Birth). Mapping all values in the Abnormal Presentation value set will ensure that patients with abnormal presentation that do undergo delivery by cesarean birth are not included in the Denominator population. Although patients with abnormal presentation that undergo delivery by vaginal birth would not count towards the Numerator, mapping all values ensures data consistency for quality improvement efforts.

      Hello -

      We are trying to determine what values to map for abnormal presentation. We noticed that brow and face are listed as abnormal presentation in the value sets, however, our OB providers will often delivery babies vaginally with this presentation. If we do not perform c-sections due to face/brow presentation, do we have to map those conditions as abnormal presentation? 

      Thank you,

      Amanda Brusco
