Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma is encouraging pediatric providers to focus on well-child visits and immunizations to meet HEDIS quality measures. This is primarily a quality improvement initiative with specific documentation requirements for tracking purposes.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers should identify pediatric patients overdue for well-child visits or immunizations and schedule appointments. Document all well-child visits with PCP designation, including date, health/developmental history, physical exam, measurements, and health education. For immunizations, document each vaccine given with administration dates in medical records - avoid generic statements like 'all immunizations up-to-date'. Billing team should ensure proper coding for well-child visits to support HEDIS reporting.
