Present on Admission (POA)
Q33.8 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
CMS POA Indicator Options and Definitions
POA Indicator | Reason for Code | CMS will pay the CC/MCC DRG? |
---|---|---|
Y | Diagnosis was present at time of inpatient admission. | YES |
N | Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. | NO |
U | Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | NO |
W | Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. | YES |
1 | Unreported/Not used - Exempt from POA reporting. | NO |

Patient Education
Lung Diseases
When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease. If all types of lung disease are lumped together, it is the number three killer in the United States.
The term lung disease refers to many disorders affecting the lungs, such as asthma, COPD, infections like influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, and many other breathing problems. Some lung diseases can lead to respiratory failure.
