DD Data Element Number CLT082 • CLT208 • CLT205

Annotation Calculate the percentage of Medicaid and S-CHIP FFS: original, paid LT claim lines with a payment level indicator of 2 where the Medicaid paid amount is greater than the allowed amount
Specification STEP 1: Active non-duplicate paid LT claims during report month

Define the LT claims universe at the line level by importing both headers and lines that satisfy the following criteria:



For Headers:

1. Reporting Period from 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.



For Lines:

1. Reporting Period from the filename = DQ report month

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

3. No Line Duplicates: Duplicates are dropped at the line level if the following data elements are the same: ICN-ORIG, ICN-ADJ, ADJUDICATION-DATE, LINE-NUM-ORIG, LINE-NUM-ADJ, and LINE-ADJSTMT-IND.

4. Lines merge to a header using ICN-ORIG, ICN-ADJ, ADJUDICATION-DATE, and ADJUSTMENT-IND=LINE-ADJSTMT-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: Claim Line Detail

Of the claims that meet the criteria from STEP2, further restrict them by the following criteria:

1. PAYMENT-LEVEL-IND = "2"



STEP 4: Non-missing Medicaid paid and allowed amounts

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

1. MEDICAID-PAID-AMT is not missing

2. ALLOWED-AMT is not missing

3. ALLOWED-AMT is not equal to 0



STEP 5: Medicaid paid is greater than allowed

Of the records from STEP 4, further refine the population with the following criteria:

1. MEDICAID-PAID-AMT > ALLOWED-AMT



STEP 6: Percentage

Divide the count of claim lines from STEP 5 by the count of claim lines from STEP 4
