Brief Description of Measure: CMS22: Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for High Blood Pressure and Follow-Up Documented Percentage of patient visits for patients aged 18 years and older seen during the measurement period who were screened for high blood pressure AND a recommended follow-up plan is documented, as indicated, if blood pressure is elevated or hypertensive Description of Issue: In addition to primary care providers, CMS22 is reported by different specialists – it is in 24 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) specialty sets. The measure is not exclusive to primary care settings; thus the measure developer is proposing for additional encounter codes to be added to the measure.

Proposed Solution: The measure developer is proposing to update the denominator eligible encounter codes to include the following CPT and HCPCS codes for Nutrition/Dietician: 97802, 97803, 97804, G0270, G0271 . Rationale for Change: Based on a request from the Academy of Nutritionists and Dieticians to include additional encounters for specialties to report the measure.
