HFmrEF or heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction.

Hello all,

How are folks approaching cases where HFmEF is documented?  Are you querying for greater specificity if there is potential impact, such as acute HFrEF?  While HFmEF is a distinct type of heart failure;  coding does not have an option to capture HFmEF, it is unspecified.   Per Uptodate article: Treatment and prognosis of heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, HFmEF are more similar to patients with HFrEF.  Has anyone addressed the clinical/coding mismatch with their providers? 

Look forward to discussion around this new HF type.

Thanks,

Mary McGrady
