Reporting Instructions for 2020 Health Center Data
Letter from the Associate Administrator
Dear Health Center Program Participant:
The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Health Center Program has continued to thrive for over 50 years because of your dedication and efforts to deliver primary health care services to underserved and vulnerable populations. More than 28 million people received high-quality, affordable, cost-effective health care from community-based and patient-directed health centers. Over 92 percent of health centers met or exceeded at least one or more Healthy People 2020 goals, and over half (52 percent) of health centers delivered more cost-effective care compared to national benchmarks.
With over 1,400 health centers and over 12,000 delivery sites in the U.S., the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin, collectively, your work and dedication to the communities you serve reaches far and wide. Health centers are making a significant impact on the nation’s health as you deliver care to our most vulnerable populations, including 1 in 3 families living in poverty, 1 in 5 rural residents, and 1 in 9 children in the country, nearly 1.4 million people experiencing homelessness, 4.5 million patients served at health center sites that are in or immediately accessible to public housing, almost 1 million agricultural workers, and more than 385,000 veterans.
Through new and ongoing investments, an increasing number of health centers are able to deliver comprehensive health care services, including oral health, mental health, and substance use disorder services. Advances in the adoption and utilization of health information technology have increased access through telehealth, promoting the interoperability of health information, and improving the quality of care across the nation.
The data we receive through the Uniform Data System (UDS) is vital to further expand access, address health disparities, improve quality, and reduce the costs of health care. We have updated the 20 20UDS Manual in response to your input at trainings, conferences, and conversations with me and my staff. The Manual aligns with national measures and reporting standards and includes new appendices to capture the changing landscape of health care data collection, as outlined in the Program Assistance Letter 2019-05. The UDS’ clinical quality measures have been revised to align with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services electronic-specified Clinical Quality Measures (eCQMs), capture more detail on depression, HIV, and breast cancer, and this year we will collect information on social determinants of health and Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs.
We continue to modernize the UDS reporting process to increase data standardization across national programs, reduce reporting burden, increase data quality, and expand data use to improve clinical care and operations to benefit you and the patients you serve. Your insights are critical to further advance the Health Center Program, and I encourage you to continue providing feedback.
I would like to extend my gratitude once again for your commitment to underserved communities and vulnerable populations across our country through the Health Center Program.
Sincerely,
James

PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT
The Uniform Data System (UDS) provides consistent information about health centers including patient demographics, services provided, clinical processes and health outcomes, patients’ use of services, costs, and revenues. It is the source of unduplicated data for the entire scope of services included in the grant or designation for the reporting year. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0915-0193 and it is valid until 03/31/2022. This information collection is mandatory under the Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (.

Patients who were in hospice care during the measurement period.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Because BMI norms for youth vary with age and sex, this measure evaluates whether BMI percentile is assessed rather than an absolute BMI value.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Include medical visits performed by any medical provider. Note that this is different from the eCQM, which requires that the visit be performed by a primary care physician or an OB/GYN. For example, include patients who had a medical visit with a nurse practitioner.
The UDS numerator differs from the eCQM in that the eCQM requires the numerator elements to be reported separately against two age strata (age 3–11; age 12–17). For UDS purposes, the patients must have had all three numerator components completed in order to meet the measurement standard against one age strata (age 3–17).
Do not count as meeting the performance measure charts that show only that a well-child visit was scheduled, provided, or billed. The electronic or paper well-child visit template/form must document each of the elements noted above.
Preventive Care and Screening: Body Mass Index (BMI) Screening and Follow-Up Plan (Line 13), CMS69v8 HYPERLINK "https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ecqm/ep/2020/cms069v8"
Measure Description
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with BMI documented during the most recent visit or within the previous 12 months to that visit and when the BMI is outside of normal parameters, a follow-up plan is documented during the visit or during the previous 12 months of that visit
Note: Normal parameters: For age 18 years and older, BMI greater than or equal to 18.5 and less than 25 kg/m2
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients 18 years of age or older on the date of the visit with at least one medical visit during the measurement period.
Note: Include patients who were born on or before December 31, 2000, including patients who were 18 years of age or older on the date of their last visit.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients with:
A documented BMI (not just height and weight) during their most recent visit in the measurement period or during the previous 12 months of that visit, and
When the BMI is outside of normal parameters, a follow-up plan is documented during the visit or during the previous 12 months of the current visit.
Note: Include in the numerator patients within normal parameters who had their BMI documented and those with a follow-up plan if BMI is outside normal parameters.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Patients who are pregnant during the measurement period.
Patients receiving palliative care during or prior to the visit.
Patients who refuse measurement of height and/or weight or refuse follow-up during the visit.
Patients with a documented medical reason during the visit or within 12 months of the visit, including:
Elderly patients (65 years or older) for whom weight reduction/weight gain would complicate other underlying health conditions such as the following examples:
Illness or physical disability.
Mental illness, dementia, confusion.
Nutritional deficiency, such as vitamin/mineral deficiency.
Patients in an urgent or emergent medical situation where time is of the essence and to delay treatment would jeopardize the patient’s health status.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Report this measure for all patients seen during the reporting period.
An eligible professional or their staff is required to measure both height and weight. Both height and weight must be measured within 12 months of the current encounter and may be obtained from separate visits. Do not use self-reported values.
BMI may be documented in the medical record at the health center or in outside medical records obtained by the health center.
If more than one BMI is reported during the measurement period, use the most recent BMI to determine if the performance has been met.
Document the follow-up plan based on the most recent documented BMI outside of normal parameters.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Documentation in the medical record must show the actual BMI or the template normally viewed by a clinician must display BMI.
Do not count as meeting the measurement standard charts or templates that display only height and weight. The fact that an HIT/EHR can calculate BMI does not replace the presence of the BMI itself.
Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention (Line 14a), CMS138v8 HYPERLINK "https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ecqm/ep/2020/cms138v8"
Measure Description
Percentage of patients aged 18 and older who were screened for tobacco use one or more times within 24 months and who received cessation counseling intervention if identified as a tobacco user.
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients aged 18 years and older seen for at least two medical visits in the measurement period or at least one preventive medical visit during the measurement period.
Note: Include patients who were born on or before December 31, 2000.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients who were screened for tobacco use at least once within 24 months before the end of the measurement period and
Who received tobacco cessation intervention if identified as a tobacco user.
Note: Include in the numerator patients with a negative screening and those with a positive screening who had cessation intervention if a tobacco user.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Documentation of medical reason(s) for not screening for tobacco use or for not providing tobacco cessation intervention (e.g., limited life expectancy, other medical reason).
Numerator
Not applicable.
Clinical Guidance
If patients use any type of tobacco (i.e., smokes or uses smokeless tobacco), tobacco cessation intervention (counseling and/or pharmacotherapy) is expected.
If a patient has multiple tobacco use screenings during the 24-month period, use the most recent screening which has a documented status of tobacco user or non-user.
If tobacco use status of a patient is unknown, the patient does not meet the screening component required to be counted in the numerator and has not met the measurement standard. “Unknown” includes patients who were not screened or patients with indefinite answers.
If the patient does not meet the screening component of the numerator but has an allowable medical exception, remove the patient from the denominator.
The medical reason exception applies to the screening data element of the measure or to any of the tobacco cessation intervention data elements.
If a patient has a diagnosis of limited life expectancy, that patient has a valid denominator exception for not being screened for tobacco use or for not receiving tobacco use cessation intervention (counseling and/or pharmacotherapy) if identified as a tobacco user.
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), including electronic cigarettes for tobacco cessation, are not currently classified as tobacco. They are not to be evaluated for this measure.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Include in the numerator records that demonstrate that the patient had been asked about their use of all forms of tobacco within 24 months before the end of the measurement period.
Cessation counseling intervention for a tobacco user must occur at or following the most recent screening and before the end of the measurement year.
Include patients who receive tobacco cessation intervention by any provider, including:
Received tobacco use cessation counseling services, or
Received an order for (a prescription or a recommendation to purchase an over-the-counter [OTC] product) a tobacco use cessation medication, or
Are on (using) a tobacco use cessation agent.
Do not count as meeting the measurement standard written self-help materials.
Identify preventive visits using “Preventive Care Services” CPT codes listed in the eCQM.
The UDS denominator differs from the eCQM in that the eCQM requires the patient population and numerator to be reported separately; for UDS purposes, the patients must be evaluated as one group.
Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease (Line 17a), CMS347v3
Measure Description
Percentage of the following patients at high risk of cardiovascular events aged 21 years and older who were prescribed or were on statin therapy during the measurement period:
Patients 21 years of age or older previously diagnosed with or currently have an active diagnosis of clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD); or
Patients 21 years of age or older who have ever had a fasting or direct low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level greater than or equal to 190 mg/dL or were previously diagnosed with or currently have an active diagnosis of familial or pure hypercholesterolemia; or
Patients 40 through 75 years of age with a diagnosis of diabetes with a fasting or direct LDL-C level of 70-189 mg/dL.
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients 21 years of age and older who have an active diagnosis of ASCVD or ever had a fasting or direct laboratory result of LDL-C greater than or equal to 190 mg/dL or were previously diagnosed with or currently have an active diagnosis of familial or pure hypercholesterolemia; or patients 40 through 75 years of age with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and with an LDL-C result 70-189 mg/dL recorded as the highest fasting or direct laboratory test result in the measurement year or the 2 years prior; with a medical visit during the measurement period.
Note: Include patients who were born on or before December 31, 1997.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients who are actively using or who received an order (prescription) for statin therapy at any point during the measurement period.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Patients who have a diagnosis of pregnancy.
Patients who are breastfeeding.
Patients who have a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis.
Patients with adverse effect, allergy, or intolerance to statin medication.
Patients who are receiving palliative care.
Patients with active liver disease or hepatic disease or insufficiency.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
For patients 40 through 75 years of age with diabetes who have the most recent fasting or direct LDL-C laboratory test result less than 70 mg/dL and are not taking statin therapy.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Current statin therapy use (including statin medication samples provided to patients) must be documented in the patient’s current medication list or ordered during the measurement period.
Do not count other cholesterol lowering medications as meeting the measurement standard—only statin therapy meets the measurement standard.
Ensure patients are not counted in the denominator more than once. Once a patient meets one set of denominator criteria (check from first listed in Measure Description to last), he/she is included and further risk checks are not needed.
Intensity of statin therapy or lifestyle modification coaching is not being assessed for this measure—only prescription of any statin therapy.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Not applicable.
Ischemic Vascular Disease (IVD): Use of Aspirin or Another Antiplatelet (Line 18), CMS164v7
Measure Description
Percentage of patients aged 18 years of age and older who were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or who had a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in the 12 months prior to the measurement period, or who had an active diagnosis of IVD during the measurement period, and who had documentation of use of aspirin or another antiplatelet during the measurement period.
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients 18 years of age and older with a medical visit during the measurement period who had an AMI, CABG, or PCI during the 12 months prior to the measurement year or who had a diagnosis of IVD overlapping the measurement period.
Note: Include patients who were born on or before December 31, 2000.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients who had an active medication of aspirin or another antiplatelet during the measurement period.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Patients who had documentation of use of anticoagulant medications overlapping the measurement period.
Patients who were in hospice care during the measurement period.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Not applicable.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Include in the numerator patients who received a prescription for, were given, or were using aspirin or another antiplatelet drug.
Colorectal Cancer Screening (Line 19), CMS130v8
Measure Description
Percentage of adults 50–75 years of age who had appropriate screening for colorectal cancer.
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients 50 through 75 years of age with a medical visit during the measurement period.
Note: Include patients born on or after January 1, 1944, and on or before December 31, 1968.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients with one or more screenings for colorectal cancer. Appropriate screenings are defined by any one of the following criteria:
Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) during the measurement period.
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) during the measurement period or the 2 years prior to the measurement period.
Flexible sigmoidoscopy during the measurement period or the 4 years prior to the measurement period.
Computerized tomography (CT) colonography during the measurement period or the 4 years prior to the measurement period.
Colonoscopy during the measurement period or the 9 years prior to the measurement period.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Patients with a diagnosis or past history of colorectal cancer or total colectomy.
Patients who were in hospice care during the measurement period.
Patients 66 and older who are living long term in an institution for more than 90 days during the measurement period.
Patients 66 and older with advanced illness and frailty because it is unlikely that patients will benefit from the services being measured.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Do not count digital rectal exam (DRE), FOBT tests performed in an office setting or performed on a sample collected via DRE.
UDS Reporting Considerations
There are two FOBT test options: Guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) and the immunochemical-based fecal occult blood test (iFOBT).
Tests (FOBT and FIT-DNA) performed elsewhere must be confirmed by documentation in the chart: either a copy of the test results or correspondence between the clinic staff and the performing lab/clinician showing the results.
FOBTs can be used to document meeting the measurement standard. This test, if performed, is required each measurement year. For example, a patient who had an FOBT in November 2019 would still need one in 2020.
Collect stool specimens for FOBT and FIT-DNA, as recommended by the manufacturer.
FOBT and FIT-DNA test kits can be mailed to patients but receipt, processing, and documentation of the test sample is required.
HIV Linkage to Care (Line 20), no eCQM
Measure Description
Percentage of patients newly diagnosed with HIV who were seen for follow-up treatment within 30 days of diagnosis.9
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients first diagnosed with HIV by the health center between October 1 of the prior year through September 30 of the current measurement year and who had at least one medical visit during the measurement period or prior year.
Note: Include patients who were diagnosed with HIV for the first time ever10 by the health center between October 1, 2019, and September 30, 2020,11 and had at least one medical visit during 2020 or 2019.
Numerator (Column C)
Newly diagnosed HIV patients that received treatment within 30 days of diagnosis. Include patients who were newly diagnosed by your health center providers, and:
Had a medical visit with your health center provider who initiates treatment for HIV, or
Had a visit with a referral resource who initiates treatment for HIV.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Not applicable.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
Not applicable.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Treatment must be initiated within 30 days of the HIV diagnosis (not just a referral made, education provided, or retest at a referral site).
Include patients in the numerator only if they received treatment for HIV care within 30 days of the diagnosis. If the treatment is by referral to another clinician/organization (such as a Ryan White provider), the medical treatment at the referral source must begin and the referral loop must be closed during the 30-day period. Closing the referral loop means the referring provider received documented confirmation that the visit was completed from the provider to whom the patient was referred.
Identification of patients for this measure crosses years and may include prior-year patients.
Reactive initial HIV tests and patients who self-identify as being HIV positive without documentation must be followed by a supplemental test to confirm diagnosis.
Do not include patients who:
Were diagnosed elsewhere, even if they can provide documentation of the positive test result.
Had a positive reactive initial screening test but not a positive supplemental test.
Were positive on an initial screening test provided by you but were then sent to another provider for definitive testing and treatment.
Note: There are no ICD-10-CM or CPT codes to identify newly diagnosed HIV patients. It is strongly encouraged that you modify your HIT/EHR to record this information or keep track of the patients who are identified in a separate system.
Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up Plan (Line 21), CMS2v9
Measure Description
Percentage of patients aged 12 years and older screened for depression on the date of the visit using an age-appropriate standardized depression screening tool and if positive, a follow-up plan is documented on the date of the positive screen.
This is calculated as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Patients aged 12 years and older with at least one medical visit during the measurement period.
Note: Include patients who were born on or before December 31, 2006.
Numerator (Column C)
Patients who:
Were screened for depression on the date of the visit using an age-appropriate standardized tool and,
If screened positive for depression, a follow-up plan is documented on the date of the positive screen.
Note: Include in the numerator, patients with a negative screening and those with a positive screening who had a follow-up plan documented.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Patients with an active diagnosis for depression or a diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Patients:
Who refuse to participate.
Who are in urgent or emergent situations12 where time is of the essence and to delay treatment would jeopardize the patient’s health status.
Whose cognitive capacity, functional capacity or motivation to improve may impact the accuracy of results of standardized assessment tools.
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
The depression screening must be reviewed and addressed in the office of the provider on the date of the visit; the screening must occur on the same date or up to 14 days prior to the date of the visit. Positive pre-screening results indicating a patient is at high risk for self-harm should receive more urgent intervention as determined by the provider.
Standardized depression screening tools are normalized and validated for the age-appropriate patient population in which they are used and must be documented in the medical record.
Use the most recent screening results.
Examples of depression screening tools include, but are not limited to:
Adolescent Screening Tools (12-17 years)
Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A)
Beck Depression Inventory-Primary Care Version (BDI-PC)
Mood Feeling Questionnaire (MFQ)
Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-17)
Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME MD)-PHQ-2
Adult Screening Tools (18 years and older)
PHQ-9
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI or BDI-II)
CES-D
Depression Scale (DEPS)
Duke Anxiety-Depression Scale (DADS)
Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)
Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD)
PRIME MD-PHQ-2
Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D)
Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report (QID-SR)
The follow-up plan must be related to a positive depression screening.
Follow-up for a positive depression screening must include one or more of the following:
Additional evaluation or assessment for depression.
Suicide risk assessment.
Referral to a practitioner who is qualified to diagnose and treat depression.
Pharmacological interventions.
Other interventions or follow-up for the diagnosis or treatment of depression.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Do not count patients who are re-screened as meeting the measurement standard as a follow-up plan to a positive screen.
Do not count a PHQ-9 screening that follows a positive PHQ-2 screening during the measurement period as meeting the measurement standard for a follow-up plan to a positive depression screening.
Dental Sealants for Children between 6-9 Years (Line 22), CMS277v0
Measure Description
Percentage of children, age 6–9 years, at moderate to high risk for caries who received a sealant on a first permanent molar during the measurement period.
Calculate as follows:
Denominator (Universe) (Columns A and B)
Children 6 through 9 years of age with an oral assessment or comprehensive or periodic oral evaluation dental visit and are at moderate to high risk for caries in the measurement period.
Note: Include children who were born on or after January 1, 2010, and on or before December 31, 2012.
Numerator (Column C)
Children who received a sealant on a permanent first molar tooth during the measurement period.
Exclusions/Exceptions
Denominator
Children for whom all first permanent molars are non-sealable (i.e., molars are either decayed, filled, currently sealed, or un-erupted/missing).
Numerator
Not applicable.
Specification Guidance
The intent is to measure whether a child received a sealant on at least one of the four permanent first molars.
“Elevated risk” is a finding at the patient level, not a population-based factor such as low socioeconomic status.
Look for tooth-level data for sealant placement. Capture sealant application within buccal pits on a first permanent molar in the numerator.
UDS Reporting Considerations
Include dental visits with the health center or with another dental provider who saw patients through a paid referral.
Use ADA codes to document caries risk level determined through an assessment.
Note: Although draft eCQM reflects age 5 through 9 years of age, use age 6 through 9 as measure steward intended.
Additional information is available to clarify reporting. View FAQs for Table 6B.

Accrual basis: Reported when the expense occurs, not when the cash is received.
Aged and disabled former migratory agricultural workers: As defined in section 330 (g)(1)(B), individuals who have previously been migratory agricultural workers but who no longer work in agriculture because of age or disability.
Allowance: A discount granted to a third-party payer as part of an agreement between the health center and the payer.
Bad debt: Amounts billed to and defaulted by a patient responsible for payment.
Capitation: An agreed-upon amount that a managed care payer pays to the provider (health center) for providing all of the services in an agreed-upon list. The payer/HMO pays the health center a set amount monthly, regardless of whether any services were rendered during the month.
Cash basis: Reported when the cash is received or expended, not when an obligation occurs.
CHIP or CHIP-RA or S-CHIP: The Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIP-RA) provides primary health care coverage for children and, on a state-by-state basis, others, especially pregnant women, mothers, or parents of these children. CHIP coverage can be provided through the state’s Medicaid program and/or through contracts with private insurance plans.
Contract staff: People who work under contract at the health center, as opposed to being on salary. They may or may not work regular assigned hours and may or may not receive benefits. They do not have withholding taxes deducted from their paychecks, and they have their income reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on a 1099 form.
