      Per the measure guidance, only one depression screening is required to be completed during the measurement period. Does the same hold true if a patient declines to complete the screening during the measurement period?

       

      If a patient is seen in January and refuses to complete a depression screening - the patient will be excluded for that provider. If a patient then sees a subsequent provider later in the year (in May for example) - should the provider be required to ask again?
