Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v12: Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan. The measure assesses the most recent depression screening completed either during the qualifying encounter or within the 14 calendar days prior to that encounter. A patient can be screened twice on the same the day. That said, one screening had to be done before another screening. Please ensure that the screenings were documented appropriately. If the most recent screening was the one with the positive result, a follow-up plan must be documented on the day of or up to two days following the qualifying encounter in order for the numerator criteria to be met.
