      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS996: Appropriate Treatment for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Patients in the Emergency Department (ED). CMS and the measure developer will consider - in a future Annual Update - adding a denominator exception for patients who refuse appropriate STEMI treatment as defined in the measure as fibrinolytic therapy within 30 minutes of ED arrival, PCI within 90 minutes of ED arrival, or discharge to a PCI-capable acute care facility within 45 minutes of ED arrival.
