      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v14: Preventative Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan.

      Providing mental health care education is not restricted to only behavioral health providers, therefore any other health care provider can provide the education. Reporting the follow-up care by documentation of SNOMEDCT 410224008 will satisfy the measure numerator as long all other numerator requirements are met:

      The patient is screened for depression on the date of the encounter or up to 14 days prior to the date of the encounter using an age-appropriate standardized tool
      AND
      If positive, a follow-up plan (e.g., mental health care education [SNOMEDCT 410224008]) is documented on the date of or up to two days after the date of the qualifying encounter.

      I would like to confirm that SNOMED code 410224008 (mental health care education) does—and will, in 2025—satisfy the measure, if provided by any health care provider, and is not restricted to behavioral health providers?
