      Thank you for your question regarding CMS190v13, Intensive Care Unit Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis. If a physician assesses and documents that the patient is “low risk for VTE” represented by LOINC 72136-5 (Risk for venous thromboembolism) within the qualifying timeline, then the case will satisfy the numerator condition.

    • If a patient has documentation indicating low risk for VTE-2, is this sufficient to place the patient in the numerator, or is additional provider documentation required to explain why pharmacologic or mechanical prophylaxis was not ordered?
