      Thank you for your question on CMS2v13 Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan. For your scenario, the patient will meet the Numerator if the clinician documents the follow up intervention on the date of or up to two days after the date of the qualifying encounter. Please use one of the codes found in the following value sets for documenting the follow-up plan.

      -valueset "Follow Up for Adolescent Depression" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1569)

      Clarification sought on the following scenario:

      Patient with existing depression and currently prescribed an allowable depression medication is seen for an eligible visit.  Patient screens positive for depression.  Provider adjusts the medication (increases the dosage) of the existing medication order.  Dose this meet criteria for appropriate follow-up?
