Point32Health would like to highlight some information and reminders that may help support you in your efforts to adhere to the guidelines and standards of care set forth by the Follow-Up After Hospitalization for Mental Illness (FUH) and Initiation and Engagement of Substance Use Disorder Treatment (IET) HEDIS measures.
As a reminder, psychiatric and substance use disorder treatment facilities are required to submit discharge summaries within 24 hours of member discharge from an inpatient, residential treatment, or partial hospitalization program. This article outlines requirements for Point32Health members.
There are several depression screening tools available for use in the primary care setting, which Point32Health recommends as a starting point for diagnosis and coordination of follow-up care, and we also offer helpful resources and information.
