CMS Shares Video Tutorial on the Patient Mood Interview

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a video tutorial for completing D0150, Patient Mood Interview (PHQ-2 to 9) and D0160, Total Severity Score. The video depicts two scenarios that demonstrate the coding of the PHQ-2 to 9 for the purposes of completing D0150, Patient Mood Interview (PHQ-2 to 9) and D0160, Total Severity Score. Two patient vignettes are depicted, one in which the PHQ-2 is demonstrated and one in which the entire PHQ-2 to 9 is completed. These two items are required as part of the nursing home MDS and home health OASIS assessments.
