Definition A code to identify conditions that are present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs; conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery. POA indicator is used to identify certain preventable conditions that are: (a) high cost or high volume or both, (b) result in the assignment of a case to a Diagnosis Related Group (DRG)* that has a higher payment when present as a secondary diagnosis, and (c) could reasonably have been prevented through the application of evidence-based guidelines. *States that do not use the grouper methodology may use CMS-approved methodology that is prospective in nature. Each Diagnosis Code Flag is associated with one, and only one, Diagnosis Code in a given file segment record. For example, Diagnosis Code n is associated with Diagnosis Code Flag n, where n can be any integer greater than or equal to 1.
