AAP recommends routine (annual) depression screening for adolescents due to depression being a common and treatable problem, which often goes unrecognized and untreated. For instance, in a 2016 national survey of adolescents, 60% who had major depression received no treatment at all. To encourage more screening, Washington’s Medicaid health plans now reimburse for adolescent depression screens with CPT code 96127. If you are considering incorporating depression screenings into your practice, we have a new webinar training available, thanks to generous support from Amerigroup: Register Online.
