      ​Hello and thank you for the question about CMS159v11 Depression Remission at Twelve Months. The PHQ-9 and the PHQ-9M are the tools contained in the value set used to specify the initial population for the measure. If your clinic confirms the items for the PHQ-9A are equivalent to those in the PHQ-9M, you are able to map one to the other. If mapping does occur, please retain adequate documentation in the case of an audit. We hope this helps.

    • Clinics want to use PHQ A as the screening tool for patients 12 to 17 years of age

      Our clinics that treat patients ages 12 to 17 years of age have asked if using PHQ A is an allowed tool in 2023 for the Depression Remission at Twelve Months measure.  The measure only specifies PHQ 9 and PHQ 9m does that mean those are the only acceptable screening tools?
