      Thank you for inquiring about CMS0002v15 (Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan). A "wild card option” would not suffice for the measure. All follow-up actions must explicitly align with the specification and associated value sets to be considered for numerator compliance.
       
      Please refer to the value sets "Follow Up for Adolescent Depression" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1569) and "Follow Up for Adult Depression" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1568) available in the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) (https://vsac.nlm.nih.gov/) for allowable follow-up actions and their associated codes.
       
      The VSAC is a central repository for the official versions of value sets included in eCQMs. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) maintains the VSAC, provides downloadable access to the value sets, and updates versions of the terminology code systems used in CMS quality programs at least once each year. Access to eCQM value sets in VSAC requires a free Unified Medical Language System® (UMLS) license (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/vsac/support/usingvsac/requestumlslicense.html). NLM will review your license request within three business days. Once your request is approved, NLM will send you an email with more information, and you will be able to sign in to services that require a UMLS Metathesaurus License.

    • CMS0002v15
    • proper follow up documentation to satisfy measure.

      Are we able to use a wild card option for the providers to pick as follow up plan that they can tailor to be more appropriate to the patients situation?
