      Thank you for your question about CMS1028v3/PC-07 Severe Obstetrical Complications. Acute renal failure, including N17.9, documented as Present on Admission (POA) does not qualify for the numerator. Please ensure POA indicators are mapped accurately for each diagnosis and that POA indicators are included in the measure submission.

      We are seeing a high number of cases who are documented as acute kidney injury falling into the numerator being codes as acute kidney failure. Some of these cases have renal disease as documented as POA. If the renal disease is documented as POA should these cases coded at N179 still fall into the numerator? We did not have many of these cases last year so I am wondering if its a mapping issue or a change in the spec manual?
