Adult patients (18 years of age or older) included in the denominator have been screened for a history of life-time trauma exposure using a systematic screening method during a 12-month measurement period AND if positive (e.g., patient endorses being exposed to trauma) the patient is screened for current symptoms of PTSD.
Instructions:
This measure is to be submitted once per performance period for patients seen during the performance period. This measure is intended to reflect systematic screening for a history of trauma. There is no diagnosis associated with this measure. This measure may be submitted by Merit-based Incentive Payment Systems (MIPS) eligible clinicians who perform the quality measure based on the services provided and the measure-specific denominator coding. For the purposes of this measure, the most recent denominator eligible encounter should be used to determine if the numerator action for the submission criteria was performed within the 12-month look back period.
Note: Patient encounters for this measure conducted via telehealth (e.g., encounters coded with 95 or POS 02) are allowable.
