      Thank you for your question on CMS2v13: Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan. Utilizing either PHQ2 or PHQ9, or both tools would need to be determined by the clinician. The measure only requires one depression screening per year, but clinicians can perform multiple depression screenings on a patient. Please note that the most recent depression screening and result would count towards meeting the numerator.

      The CMS 2 measure: depression screening with follow up plan has changed for performance year 2024 as it no longer allows exclusion of members with an existing diagnosis of depression.

      We would like to ask, if a patient has an existing diagnosis of depression, are organizations required to perform both a phq2 and a phq9 annually, or can they complete one or the other?
