      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS2v14. This measure is based on follow-up from the most recent depression screening conducted during the measurement period. For the patient to meet the measure, the most recent screening (in this case, October) must be followed by an appropriate intervention as outlined in the measure’s specifications. Since no follow-up is provided in your example, the measure would not be considered compliant for the most recent screening and, therefore, would not pass for the measurement period.

      If a provider screens a patient for depression in February and it's negative and then the patient is re-screened in October, they screen positive and a follow up is not done, will we still pass the measure for the February screening since this only has to be done once during the measurement period?
