      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v13: Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan.


      The measure does not exclude patients in palliative care, hospice or those who are currently deceased. All patients who have had a depression screening during the encounter or 14 days prior to the date of the encounter will be included in the denominator population. Only patients with a history of bipolar disorder are excluded.

    • Exclusions of palliative care, hospice and deceased patients are not included in the measure specifications. Is this an oversight?

      Our clinicians do not address quality measures when a patient is receiving palliative care, hospice care or is deceased.  The measure stewards (CMS and NCQA) routinely list these statuses as exclusions. 

      We are hoping this is merely an oversight.
