      Thank you for your inquiry about CMS2v13 Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-up Plan. Thank you bringing this to our attention. The statement addresses when there is a positive depression finding. Providers should review all depression screenings. If there is a positive finding, it should be addressed with the patient on the date of the encounter. Documentation for the follow-up plan can be documented on the date of or up to two days after the date of the qualifying encounter. We will consider updates to the language during the next Annual Update.

      CMS-2 Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow--Up Plan. Measure guidance states, "The depression screening must be reviewed and addressed by the provider, filing the code, on the date of the encounter". We are seeking clarification on that guidance - is that provider review required regardless of the score/result? Is it required for both a positive and negative depression screening?
