10.15.2018 Rules for Allowable Adjustments The General Guidelines in the Rules for Allowable Adjustments states, “use the separate HEDIS Adjustments VSD to calculate measure rates stemming from adjusted measure specification.” Does this mean that ONLY the HEDIS Adjustments VSD must be used?

No. The Allowable Adjustments VSD does not contain the standard HEDIS value sets; standard HEDIS value sets are in the HEDIS 2019 Volume 2 VSD. The Allowable Adjustments VSD includes only SNOMED and LOINC codes that are not in the Volume 2 VSD. Organizations collecting data using the rules for allowable adjustments can elect (but are not required) to use the value sets in the Allowable Adjustments VSD.
