Data Elements

DD Data Element TOT-MEDICAID-PAID-AMT • TOT-ALLOWED-AMT
DD Data Element Number CLT065CLT064

Annotation Calculate the percentage of Medicaid and S-CHIP FFS: original, paid LT claims where the total Medicaid paid amount is greater than the total allowed amount
Specification STEP 1: Active non-duplicate LT records during DQ report month

Define the LT records universe at the header level that satisfy the following criteria:

1. Reporting Period for the filename = DQ report month

2. CLAIM-STATUS-CATEGORY is not equal to "F2" or is missing

3. CLAIM-DENIED-INDICATOR is not equal to "0" or is missing

4. TYPE-OF-CLAIM is not equal to "Z" or is missing

5. CLAIM-STATUS is not equal to ("26","026","87","087","542","585","654") or is missing

6. No Header Duplicates: Duplicates are dropped at the header level, if the following four data elements are the same: ICN-ORIG, ICN-ADJ, ADJUDICATION-DATE, and ADJUSTMENT-IND.



STEP 2: Medicaid and S-CHIP FFS: Original, Paid Claims

Of the claims that meet the criteria from STEP 1, further restrict them by the following criteria:

1. TYPE-OF-CLAIM = "1" or "A"

2. ADJUSTMENT-IND = "0"



STEP 3: Non-missing total Medicaid paid and allowed amounts

Of the records from STEP 2, further refine the population with the following criteria:

1. TOT-MEDICAID-PAID-AMT is not missing

2. TOT-ALLOWED-AMT is not missing

3. TOT-ALLOWED-AMT is not equal to zero



STEP 4: Total Medicaid paid is greater than total allowed

Of the records from STEP 3, further refine the population with the following criteria:

1. TOT-MEDICAID-PAID-AMT > TOT-ALLOWED-AMT



STEP 5: Percentage

Divide the count of claims from STEP 4 by the count of claims from STEP 3
