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

      Entry into progress notes alone is not sufficient to fulfil measure requirements for a positive adult or adolescent depression screening; in order to fulfil measure requirements, the intervention of referring to PCP must be an order in the EHR placed on the day of, or up to two days following the qualifying encounter.

    • does referring to a PCP need to be an actual referral order in the EHR or can it be part of their notes that they are referring the patient?
