1.15.2016 Comprehensive Diabetes Care The urine protein testing requirements for the Medical Attention for Nephropathy indicator were revised. Some examples in HEDIS 2015 (e.g., urine dipstick) are not listed in the 2016 specifications, so do urine dipsticks and test strips still meet criteria for this indicator for HEDIS 2016?

Yes. As a result of changes to the measure, the two example lists were combined into a single list to remove redundancy. All examples that met criteria in HEDIS 2015 meet criteria for HEDIS 2016. Urine dipsticks are considered “spot urine” tests so they meet criteria based on the example, “Spot urine for albumin or protein.”
