yeah, federal funding also at various levels requires #phq9 & also #sbirt (drugs & alcohol). also recording #bmi (height vs weight) & smoking status.

in general if you decline all these things what happens is, basically, the doctor gets downgraded as negligent. i once worked at a place where everyone's "scores" (including paps, mammos, cholesterol checks) were posted side by side, in ranked order, every month.
