Inflated denominator
We currently offer Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) services in the inpatient setting. Since PT and OT submit CPT codes for their evaluation services in this environment, these inpatients are being included in the denominator for Depression Screening. We are facing challenges in determining how to exclude them in our mapping, as our understanding of the measure suggests that depression screening may not be appropriate in an inpatient setting.
