No. QI 2, Element C does not require bidirectional data sharing.
The intent of the requirement is for health plans to share data required for at least one HEDIS measure identified in QI 2, Element C. This enables behavioral health organizations to collect HEDIS measure data to meet NCQA’s Behavioral Health Accreditation program requirements. The health plan and the behavioral health entity collaboratively select the specific HEDIS measure(s), review the technical specifications outlined in Volume 2, and determine which data elements need to be shared to support accurate and efficient reporting.
