MU 2014 Measure Update Change Summary ICD 9 and 10 codes Diagnosis Some ICD 9 & 10 Dx codes for pap smear were removed as indicators for patients that meet the numerator criteria Changes may cause a potential reduction in performance rate if deleted codes are exclusively used to document screening Several Hysterectomy codes were also deleted. This further clarifies the need for a patient to have “no residual cervix” in order for them to be excluded from the initial population/ denominator criteria ICD 9 and 10 codes Diagnosis Some ICD 9 & 10 Dx codes for pap smear were removed as indicators for patients that meet the numerator criteria Changes may cause a potential reduction in performance rate if deleted codes are exclusively used to document screening Several Hysterectomy codes were also deleted. This further clarifies the need for a patient to have “no residual cervix” in order for them to be excluded from the initial population/ denominator criteria CPT Codes & HCPCS Visit codes for patient encounters performed as a group visit e.g , or non-physician presence visit e.g., were removed as encounter types.

Potential reduction in performance rate if deleted codes were exclusively used to document screening. HCPCS Codes related to Medicare Cytopathology were removed, e. g., G0123 correlates to the CPT which was also removed as an indicator for patients meeting the numerator Potential reduction in performance rate if deleted codes were exclusively used to document screening CPT Codes & HCPCS Visit codes for patient encounters performed as a group visit e.g , or non-physician presence visit e.g., were removed as encounter types.
