Thank you for your question regarding CMS155v11: Weight Assessment and Counseling for Nutrition and Physical Activity for Children/Adolescents.
Family physicians often serve as primary care providers for patients of all ages, including children and adolescents. Therefore, a family physician can be considered a PCP for this measure, as they are qualified to assess and provide counseling on weight, nutrition, and physical activity for pediatric patients.
However, note that specific implementation and documentation requirements may vary among healthcare organizations and practices. The provider designated as the PCP for a given pediatric patient's care, as well as the processes for weight assessment and counseling, should align with the policies and procedures established by the healthcare facility or organization where the measure is being applied.
