Immunizations for Adolescents (IMA): HPV

HEDIS® Measurement Description: The percentage of adolescents who had:

• At least two HPV vaccines (HPV Vaccine Administered Value Set), with different dates of service on or between the member's 9th and 13th birthdays.
  • There must be at least 146 days between the first and second dose of the HPV vaccine. For example, if the service date for the first vaccine was March 1, then the service date for the second vaccine must be after July 25.

OR

• At least three HPV vaccines (HPV Vaccine Administered Value Set), with different dates of service on or between the member's 9th and 13th birthdays.

Hybrid Methodology: Organizations look for numerator compliance in both administrative and medical record data. The denominator consists of a systematic sample of members drawn from the measure's eligible population. Organizations review administrative data to determine if members in the systematic sample received the service, and review medical record data for members who do not meet the numerator criteria through administrative data. The reported rate is based on members in the sample who received the service required for the numerator.
