| Solution: | Correct, the Obstetric patients are excluded from the measure. I have attached the value sets which contain the specific diagnoses excluded in the measure. These can be accessed on https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/. •"Diagnosis: Obstetrics" using "Obstetrics Grouping Value Set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.117.1.7.1.263)" •"Diagnosis: Obstetrics VTE" using "Obstetrics VTE Grouping Value Set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.117.1.7.1.264)" |

| Impact: | In reviewing the VTE 1 measure "population" description , it states : include patients > than 18 years of age and i.e. and without the diagnosis of VTE or obstetrics. I just want need to confirm with our analysts that the obstetrical population is not in the VTE 1 measure ...correct? Thank you | ||||||||

Thank you for the additional detail. Code Z.33.1 is a secondary code only for use when the pregnancy is in no way complicating the reason for visit. This code is not appropriate to include as an exclusion, as in these cases the primary diagnosis may be a condition that places the patient at risk for VTE. The remaining Z.34 supervision codes make sense to add to the Obstetrics exclusion, as they indicate a patient had a pregnancy encounter, and these codes are always first-listed and are not to be used with any other code from the OB chapter. We intend to add the Z34 codes you suggest. We will not add Z.33.1 for the reason stated. |

If you could be more specific regarding what codes are not listed, we would be happy to evaluate the codes and address them with the Technical advisory panel. |

Thank you for your response below, but I have one more question. From the below, you confirm this measurement VTE-1 excludes the obstetrical patients ....but the normal obstetrical ICD pregnancy codes are not listed within the excluded value sets. Could you please let me know the reasoning for this or if they are truly included or excluded. We are just trying to complete our reporting systems .... Thank you |
