Summary

Medical Mutual of Ohio has issued updated guidance on proper documentation and coding for the HEDIS SPC (Statin Therapy for Patients with Cardiovascular Disease) measure. The policy provides specific ICD-10 and SNOMED codes for excluding patients with statin intolerance or adverse reactions, and outlines criteria for measuring statin therapy adherence in ASCVD patients.

Action Required

Action needed
Immediately: Billing team should review current ASCVD patient documentation to ensure proper coding of statin exclusions using the specified ICD-10 codes (G72.0, G72.2, G72.9, M60.9, M62.82, M79.10, M79.18). Contact Medical Mutual's Supplemental Data team (Richard Hein: richard.hein@medmutual.com, Nadia Dumevi: nadia.dumevi@medmutual.com) to incorporate SNOMED codes into supplemental data files.
