1.16.2013 General Guidelines Are home-test kits that collect biometric values allowed for HEDIS reporting?

Only tests administered by a qualified provider may be used for HEDIS reporting. Self-administered tests (including home-test kits) where the patient performs the test and obtains the result are not eligible for use in HEDIS reporting.

Results from a home test kit where a qualified provider uses the kit to conduct a test or determine the results in the office are eligible for HEDIS reporting. If any home test is billed by a qualified provider using a code specified in the measure, it is eligible for use in HEDIS reporting; the code alone indicates compliance.
