Use CPT II codes for HEDIS® high blood pressure measurements

For patients diagnosed with hypertension, be sure to submit claims or encounter data with Current Procedural Terminology® (CPT®) II codes for blood pressure results obtained during 2018 office visits.

Why use CPT II codes?
 

• CPT II codes will decrease the amount of medical records requested during Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) hybrid data collection from February 2019 to May 2019.
• As HEDIS rates increase, providers may earn maximum or additional revenue through value-based services and other pay-for-performance models.
• HEDIS reports help identify and address gaps in quality care for patients.
