5 Introduction Thank you for your participation in Community Health Group s Project HEDIS. As you review the attached results, you will see improvement in most of the measures, all thanks to you, our physicians. Due to our previous success, we are now rolling out the HEDIS project for 2012, which incorporates most of last year s incentives. We have assembled this HEDIS reference guide to answer questions you and/or your staff may have on the specific HEDIS measurements, proper coding and documentation of the measurements and Community Health Group s prior HEDIS results. While we are thrilled that the majority of our scores increased, we thank you for the great effort to improve our Healthy Families child/adolescent access to PCPs. Now we need your assistance in scheduling mammogram and postpartum visits in order to increase these scores as well. Together we are certain we can become a HEDIS leader in the State and look forward to working closely with you and your staff on these exciting programs. Please feel free to contact Gabriela Rubalcava, HEDIS Manager at (619) or our Provider Relations Department at (619) with any questions or to coordinate HEDIS trainings. Page 1

10 How Providers Can Improve Their Well Child Visits HEDIS Scores The easiest way for Community Health Group and our providers to improve HEDIS results is for providers to report these services to Community Health Group on a PM-160 or HCFA (CMS) 1500 form when they are provided. Because these services are capitated, some providers may believe they do not have to report them. This is incorrect. All services must be reported to us. There are three ways your claims/encounter data will count for HEDIS results that measure Well Child Visits. You may use 1) CPT codes or 2) ICD-9 codes or 3) the PM-160 form. Any of these three reporting methods will count as a positive result if you use the coding and reporting detailed in the chart below. If we have these codes for services in your claims/encounter data, we will NOT have to request medical records for these members from you. For babies under 1 year old For children ages years For children ages years 9939 For adolescents years For adolescents years HCFA (CMS) 1500 with Or CPT Codes ICD-9 Codes V20.2 V70.0 V70.3 V70.5 V70.6 V70.8 V70.9 Or PM-160 Form With 01 History & Physical 04 Anticipatory Guidance 05 Developmental Assessment fields checked Immunizations and blood lead levels should also be reported, either on the HFCA (CMS) 1500 or PM-160 form. Note: Use the PM-160 form for Medi-Cal members and the HFCA (CMS) 1500 for Healthy Families. Page 6
