Summary
BCBS Rhode Island has highlighted four key HEDIS behavioral health performance measures that healthcare practices should focus on: Follow Up After Hospitalization (FUH), Follow Up After High-Intensity Substance Abuse Disorder (FUI), Follow-Up Care for Children Prescribed ADHD Medication (ADD), and Antidepressant Medication Management (AMM). This is informational guidance to help practices improve quality metrics and outcomes reporting.
Action Required
Review current workflows for behavioral health follow-up care to ensure compliance with HEDIS measure requirements. Clinical staff should verify that patients receive appropriate follow-up appointments after hospitalization, substance abuse treatment, ADHD medication initiation, and antidepressant therapy. Document all follow-up care properly to support HEDIS reporting.
