Exclusions
1. Individuals who are monitoring INR at home. These individuals are excluded because the claims associated with home INR monitoring are associated with up to four INR tests per claim. Therefore, a single claim for home INR monitoring would not be representative of a single INR test and would prohibit being able to distinguish if the home INR test was within the 56-day timeframe specified by the numerator of this measure.
2. Individuals who have first or last warfarin claims with missing days’ supply.
