Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease(GERD) ECR Summary Description

Version: 5.4.005

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition open from 30 days prior to the date of the trigger service until the end of the study period, or until the patient's date of death. The trigger service can be an inpatient service with a GERD-specific principal diagnosis code or an outpatient or professional E&M; service with a GERD-specific diagnosis code in any position. The professional trigger also requires a confirming inpatient, outpatient or professional diabetes-related E&M; service at least 7 days later. Services with diagnosis codes for signs and symptoms related to GERD such as dyspepsia or heartburn have been defined as typical care for GERD, and conditions such as admission for aspiration pneumonia and fluid and electrolyte disturbances have been labeled as complications.

In addition, patients who undergo an Upper GI Endoscopy (EGD) are included in a separate procedural episode but are linked back to the GERD episode to understand the frequency and consequently the appropriateness of these procedures in GERD patients. Furthermore, other concurrent episodes of Pneumonia are linked back at the patient level to GERD episodes as complications.

Episode Components

Trigger CodesCodes that, when meeting the trigger criteria, indicate an episode exists (See Table A)
SubTypesEpisodes often have sub-types or variants, which are useful to adjust for the severity of that episode, and reduce the need to have multiple episodes of the same type.
Relevant DiagnosesThese are diagnosis codes that could serve as a proxy to the trigger diagnosis codes in order to steer services to an episode. There are two types of relevant diagnosis: 1) those that are for routine and typical care for an episode and include codes that represent signs and symptoms related to the episode, diagnosis codes for similar conditions, status codes, family history codes or for aftercare (See Table B); and 2) those that indicate the occurrence of a PAC (potentially avoidable complication) during the episode time window (See Table C)
Relevant ProceduresThese include all services that are relevant to a given episode but would only be included in the episode if they have a relevant diagnosis code on the claim (See Tables D and E)
Relevant PharmacyThese include all pharmacy codes that are relevant to a given episode. Pharmacy codes are grouped into Prometheus Drug Groups for inclusion in the episode (See Table H). All relevant pharmacy codes in this episode are classified as typical.

SubTypes

Code Tables

In accordance with WHO and AMA respective licenses, the specific codes for ICD-10, HCPCS, and CPT have been redacted as “***” below. The specific ICD-10, HCPCS, and CPT code definitions for each episode-of-care are available to authorized users of the TrustHub platform.
