      I was hoping to get clarification re: QM317.  When it says "Referral to Alternate/Primary Care Provider" (as an option for recommended follow up for an elevated BP reading), does that mean that an actual referral order has to be generated electronically?  Or is it adequate to verbally refer the patient to the alternate/primary care provider and document doing so?

      Thanks
