New Certification Selection Process on the AHIN Provider Portal for ADHD
Beginning in February (or before) there will be a new certification selection process on the AHIN provider portal for ADHD. The old selection options presented two questions:
- Have you treated this patient for ADHD?
- Is this a severe patient who requires Level II Care?
The new method presents three options which explicitly lists the three certifications and allows providers to pick and choose the certifications required. When this selection is implemented, providers can complete any one of the certifications separately or in combination with another. The only restriction is a Quality Assurance Certification (QA) and Continuing Care Certification (CC) can’t be completed at the same time. Listed below are the options available after the portal update.
- Quality Assurance Certification – completed for a newly diagnosed or newly received ADHD case.
- Level II Certification – completed for an existing case requiring Level II care.
- Continuing Care Certification – completed to continue a case to a succeeding episode performance period.
Level II Certification is reserved for those patients who require a higher level of care and have had an inadequate response to guideline concordant medication management.
Below is a screen shot of the new selection entry prompts. A short description of each certification follows each prompt.
If you have any questions regarding your Episode of Care Reports or portal entry for quality metrics, contact AMS APII Provider Outreach Specialist Gloria Boone, CPC, CPHIT, CPEHR.
