Best Practice and Measure Tips

• This measure evaluates preventive screening only.
• Acceptable:
  • Bilateral or Unilateral mammogram performed during the measurement period.
    • Results can be submitted for medical record review throughout the year, but medical record review cannot be performed during HEDIS annual audit.
  • Documentation “mammogram completed” and date.
    • If documenting a mammogram in a member’s history specify mammogram and date of service. If unilateral mammogram, must include documentation of unilateral mastectomy. If the date is unknown, year only is acceptable. The result is not required.
    • Submit the appropriate ICD-10 diagnosis code that reflects a member’s history of bilateral mastectomy, Z90.13.
    • Attempt to obtain reports for member reported screening. Notate place of service if unable to obtain report.
    • Educate members on importance of screening mammogram for early detection of breast cancer when there are usually no symptoms.
  • Types of mammograms: Screening, Diagnostic, Film, Digital, or Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (3-D Mammogram).

NOTE: CAD (Computer-Aided Detection) is only designed to help improve Results for Mammography, MRI, CT’s and Xrays, but this term alone does not make the member compliant. The appropriate screening type needs to be completed.

• Not Acceptable:
  • Biopsies, Breast Ultrasounds or MRI’s.
  • The advanced illness exclusion can be identified from a telephone visit, e-visit or virtual check-in.
