6.14.2024 RxNorm codes for Asthma Medication Ratio (AMR) Can RxNorm codes be used when identifying the required exclusion for members who had no asthma controller or reliever medications dispensed during the measurement year?

No. Although the Asthma Controller and Reliever Medication List includes RxNorm codes, they should not be used to identify dispensing events for this required exclusion. Only use pharmacy data (NDC codes) when assessing asthma controller or reliever medication dispensing events for this required exclusion. Because a dispensing event is required to calculate the numerator, members who had no dispensing events should be removed from the measure.
