Please be advised that CMS has added death codes (COD, Cause of Death) to the CMS 2746 form in EQRS specifically to capture deaths related to COVID-19.
If you are trying to complete the 2746 but have lost Scope of the patient, please do the following:
- delete the Discharge info from the Admit page
- Add Date of Death/Cause of Death to the Attributes page
- check that the discharge info Re-Appears on the Admit page
- check if the 2746 becomes populated
The new codes are
Form 2746 Death Code | ICD 10 Code | Description | Additional Information |
105 | U07.1 | COVID19 | https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/icd/COVID-19-guidelines-final.pdf |
106 | U07.2 | COVID19 Unconfirmed |
The list of ESRD Death Codes can be found on page 2 of the 2746 Form:
