HEDIS Tip Sheet
Member Outreach Tips:
• Ask patients if they have had a dilated eye exam this year before reminding them they are due.
• If patients have not had a dilated eye exam this year, encourage them to schedule one with their optometrist or
ophthalmologist.
Supplemental Data Tips
• Record the date of the dilated eye exam, as well as the result (negative or positive for nephropathy).
• Member reported data is not allowed; please make sure there is a letter or report (including the date of the exam)
from an optometrist or ophthalmologist present in the medical record.
• If the patient meets exclusion criteria, please record it for future reference.
