2.15.2017 Adolescent Well-Care Visits Does documentation of “Tanner stage” meet criteria for the physical exam or physical developmental history component for the Adolescent Well-Care Visits (AWC) measure?

Yes. Documentation of Tanner stage meets criteria for the physical exam and physical developmental components, but should not be double-counted toward both (if used as evidence of physical exam, it may not be used as evidence of physical developmental, and vice versa). Documentation of Tanner stage does not meet criteria for the Well-Child Visits in the First 15 Months of Life (W15) or Well-Child Visits in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Years of Life (W34) measures as sexual maturity rating is not recommended until 7 years of age.
