Data Elements

DD Data Element Number CRX138

Annotation Percentage of Medicaid Encounter: original, non-crossover, paid RX claims with missing days supply
Specification STEP 1: Active non-duplicate paid RX claims during report month

Define the RX claims universe at the header 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 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: Prescription supply days

Of the claims that meet the criteria from STEP 2, further restrict them by the following criteria:

1. DAYS-SUPPLY is missing



STEP 4: Calculate the percentage for the measure

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