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

      For patients that are advised to continue their depression care plan, clinicians can consider mapping to the following codes: SNOMED CT 410234004 (Management of mental health treatment (procedure)) or SNOMED CT 410232000 (Mental health treatment assessment (procedure)). These codes are found in the Follow Up for Adolescent Depression (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1569) and Follow Up for Adult Depression (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1568) value sets.

      These value sets are found on The National Library of Medicine's Value Set Authority

      Center (VSAC), https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/. The VSAC provides downloadable access to all official versions of value sets content contained in the eCQM specifications. The value sets are lists of unique coded identifiers with names (called descriptors) for groupings of clinical and administrative concepts selected from standard vocabularies.

      Additionally, a Known Issue(KI) has been created to address this issue and can be found by visiting the eCQI Resource Center: https://oncprojectracking.healthit.gov/support/browse/EKI-22

    • Need clarification

      If a patient who is already carrying a diagnosis of depression and is undergoing treatment (whether it is pharmacological or therapy) is screened for depression at an appointment, what would constitute a follow-up?

      If the patient is already being followed for this diagnosis, is there an acceptable documentation that would fulfill the measure?

       

      Thank you
