    • If 99211 counts as a qualifying measure, patients are being missed to capture key quality metrics.

      We'd like to confirm whether or not CPT code 99211 counts as a qualifying encounter for the following measures:

      CMS2_Screening for Depression and Follow Up Plan

      CMS165_Controlling High Blood Pressure

      CMS122_HbA1C Poor Control

      CMS69_BMI Screening and Follow Up

       

      Thank you!
