HEDIS QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE: DOCUMENTATION TIPS FOR ADULT MEASURES For Health Care Providers January 2018 Helping you improve your scores, as you improve the health of your patients. Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS ) scores are not only important for you as a provider, they also help guide your patients to quality care. As your trusted partner with the mutual goal of helping people lead healthier lives, we are committed to providing support in every way we can. Utilizing complete and accurate codes can significantly reduce the number of medical records we may request from you for HEDIS. This quick reference guide outlines what documentation is required to make a record compliant, including up-to-date codes that will help you maintain, and even improve, your HEDIS scores. * HEDIS is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).

Controlling High Blood Pressure (CBP) The percentage of patients 18 85 years of age who had a diagnosis of hypertension (HTN) and whose BP was adequately controlled during the measurement year based on the following criteria: 18 59 years of age whose BP was <140/90 mm Hg. 60 85 years of age with a diagnosis of diabetes whose BP was <140/90 mm Hg. 60 85 years of age without a diagnosis of diabetes whose BP was <150/90 mm Hg. Documentation of diagnosis of HTN prior to June 30 of the measurement year, and BP was adequately controlled during the measurement year. Diagnosis and documented BP ideally would come from the same provider, but it is not limited to that provider. The representative BP from the most recent provider seen by the patient should be used. This measure is medical record review only. Identify the most recent BP reading noted during the measurement year. The reading must occur after the date when the diagnosis of hypertension was confirmed. BP readings at the following types of visits do not count: An acute inpatient stay or an emergency department (ED) visit. An outpatient visit which was for the sole purpose of having a diagnostic test or surgical procedure performed (e.g., sigmoidoscopy, removal of a mole). Obtained the same day as a major diagnostic or surgical procedure (e.g., stress test, administration of IV contrast for a radiology procedure, endoscopy). Reported by or taken by the patient. Note: If initial BP is high, and multiple blood pressure readings are taken, the lowest reading will be abstracted during medical record review. Exclusions: Patients with evident end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or with diagnosis of pregnancy during the measurement year Patients with a non-acute inpatient stay Patients who have had a kidney transplant or dialysis Common billing codes accepted by HEDIS ICD-10 Diagnosis code: I10 Blood Pressure procedure codes: Systolic BP < 140: 3074F, 3075F Diastolic BP: 3078F, 3079F
