      Thank you for inquiring about the Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan eCQM. The measure specification does not include requirements on where the screenings are completed; it only requires that they are documented in the EHR at least once during the measurement period and that follow-up actions occur in a timely manner for positive results. Since the sister entity’s screening results are available in the EHR within the 14 days before your EC provider's encounter, they may be used to report for your TIN.

    • Clarification

      Hello, 

      I was wondering if you could clarify if a depression screening completed at a sister entity that does not operate under the same TIN would count towards an EC provider that operates under our TIN if completed 14 days before?  Their encounters are captured within our EHR.
