      Concerning CMS 334 Ceasarean Birth, I would like clarification on if cord and compound presentations are part of the abnormal presentations excluded for this measure. In reviewing the VSAC codes and specs for abnormal presentation 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1045.105 , cord and compound are not listed, however per clinical guidelines we understand compound and maybe cord is an abnormal presentation. Question is, are cord and compound presentations abnormal presentations that should be excluded for the PC-02 measure?
