I am referencing Jira ticket CQM-5687, in which the solution states that a PCP cannot document "patient to return when and if necessary" to the PCP clinic, as it is considered a self-referral and does not meet the intent of the measure.
Would the following meet the intent of follow-up for a positive depression screen?
The patient has a positive depression screening during a primary care visit and the primary care practitioner provides and documents one of the following: code 372067001 "Implementation of measures to provide psychological support", 385721005/385724002 "Coping support assessment/management", or 385725001/385726000 "Emotional support assessment/education".
