Chlamydia screenings

This measure is very important for females in the 16-24 age range. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Chlamydia infections are still on the rise in the U.S. Only members who have been flagged as sexually active will be included in this PIP measure; we have specific CPT and ICD-9 criteria flagged on medical and pharmacy claims that we receive through billing. For details, see our technical manual by logging in to the Provider Center and going to the Provider Manual section. There, you’ll find a link to Performance Programs. Information available here may also be helpful when discussing screenings with your patients.
