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

      The measure does not dictate which tool must be used by clinicians when screening for depression, however, it must be a standardized depression screening tool. A standardized depression screening tool is a normalized and validated depression screening tool developed for the patient population in which it is being utilized. The tools listed in the guidance are only examples of tools that may be used. The LOINC Code (73831-0) is used for an adolescent depression screening assessment and the LOINC Code (73832-8) is used for an adult depression screening assessment. When reporting when reporting Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, it would depend on the age of the patient.

      You can reference the applicable codes containing these value sets on the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) at https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on the “Search Value Sets” tab and enter the value set ID to review codes included in the respective value set.

      Are there any plans to add these LOINC codes to the ValueSet?

      71354-5 Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Score (EPDS)

      89204-2 PHQ-9 modified for teens total score (reported)

      55758-7 PHQ-2 item total score (reported)

      44261-6 PHQ-9 item total score (reported)

       ** 

      Which of the current LOINC codes (73831-0; 73832-8) be used when reporting Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (administered to both adults and adolescents)?
