      Thank you for inquiring about the Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan eCQM. We were made aware of an issue with the value set not including codes specific to encounters that provide only antepartum or postpartum care. Our team is reviewing the available codes across all terminologies as part of the CMS Annual Update process and refining value sets, where necessary, to align with the measure intent.

      The depression screening and follow-up measure includes encounter codes for the global care. Following delivery, we find that postpartum depression is often discovered at an office visit. This code is typically 0503F, which I cannot find in the measure set as pulling in a qualifying encounter for the office setting. For other obstetric related office visits using codes 0500F, 0501F, 0502F, and 0503F, what options do we have to pull these encounters into a qualifying visit? Are there other codes that we could use at these encounters that would allow us to capture these screenings or do these codes exclude the screenings? I am unable to access the VSAC file that would include all codes to review.
