Data Elements

DD Data Element PRESCRIPTION-FILL-DATE • DATE-PRESCRIBED
DD Data Element Number CRX085CRX084

Annotation The percentage of Medicaid Encounter: original, non-crossover, paid RX claims where the fill date is equal to the prescribed date
Specification STEP 1: Active non-duplicate RX claims during DQ report month

Define the RX claims 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 Encounter: Original, Non-crossover, Paid Claims

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

1. TYPE-OF-CLAIM = "3"

2. ADJUSTMENT-IND = "0"

3. CROSSOVER-INDICATOR = "0" or is missing



STEP 3: Fill date equals prescribed date

Of the claims that meet the criteria from STEP 2, select records where

1. PRESCRIPTION-FILL-DATE = DATE-PRESCRIBED



STEP 4: Calculate the percentage for the measure

Divide the count of claims from STEP 3 by the count of claims from STEP 2
