      For Depression Screening and Follow- up (CMS 134), as we move to primary eCQM reporting, our provider governance group approved and defined the following drop down menu to document the follow-up plan for positive depression screens.  We are requesting guidance on appropriate assignment of SNOMED codes to map these provider follow up planning interventions. The defined intent for each of the menu selections outlined below were communicated to providers with direction to expand upon plan elements within narrative notes: 

      1. Clinic Follow up  (SNOMED CT 410231007,Mental health screening management-procedure): Use this option for clinic follow up at a future date to reassess symptoms
