Line Revisions

May 2026. Line 26, Health supervision of infant or child (ages 0 through 11), was renamed to Well Child Visits (ages 0 through 11). We also updated Relevant to count this line using the Well Child Interventions Data Element instead of Visit Billing or Diagnosis Codes for patients under age 12 at the start of the intervention. The data element itself does not require a linked visit, but the patient must still qualify for UDS reporting in the reporting year to be included in Table 6A.
