Thank you for your inquiry for CMS136v13: Follow-Up Care for Children Prescribed ADHD Medication (ADD)for additional guidance regarding the provider's 'prescribing authority. Based on measure intent, follow-up should be performed by a provider with prescribing authority as the measure is considered a patient safety measure and a provider with prescribing authority would have the ability to adjust the prescribed medication as needed. It is correct that the current measure CQL does not provide logic to identify the provider's 'prescribing authority. It is the provider's responsibility and discretion to confirm whether they fall into this category. We appreciate your questions and are considering re-evaluating the feasibility of adding more provider level specificity to a future version of the measure.
