Determination <strong>of</strong> Compliance: Performance is monitored once every quarter for the entire report<br />

period. If the st<strong>and</strong>ard is not met for every service category in all quarters <strong>of</strong> the report period in<br />

either the county-based or interim regional-based approach, or both, then the MCP will be<br />

determined to be noncompliant for the report period.<br />

Penalty for noncompliance: The first time an MCP is noncompliant with a st<strong>and</strong>ard for this<br />

measure, ODJFS will issue a Sanction Advisory informing the MCP that any future noncompliance<br />

instances with the st<strong>and</strong>ard for this measure will result in ODJFS imposing a monetary sanction.<br />

Upon all subsequent measurements <strong>of</strong> performance, if an MCP is again determined to be<br />

noncompliant with the st<strong>and</strong>ard, ODJFS will impose a monetary sanction (see Section 6.) <strong>of</strong> two<br />

percent <strong>of</strong> the current month’s premium payment. Monetary sanctions will not be levied for<br />

consecutive quarters that an MCP is determined to be noncompliant. If an MCP is noncompliant for<br />

three consecutive quarters, membership will be frozen. Once the MCP is determined to be compliant<br />

with the st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> the violations/deficiencies are resolved to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> ODJFS, the<br />

penalties will be lifted, if applicable, <strong>and</strong> monetary sanctions will be returned.<br />

<strong>Regional</strong>-Based Approach: Transition to the regional-based approach will occur by region, after<br />

the first four quarters (i.e., full calendar year quarters) <strong>of</strong> regional membership. Encounter data<br />

volume will be evaluated by MCP, by region, after determination <strong>of</strong> the regional-based data quality<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards. ODJFS will use the first four quarters <strong>of</strong> data (i.e., full calendar year quarters) from all<br />

MCPs serving in an active region to determine minimum encounter volume data quality st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

for that region.<br />

1.a.ii. Incomplete Outpatient Hospital Data<br />

Since July 1, 1997, MCPs have been required to provide both the revenue code <strong>and</strong> the HCPCS code<br />

on applicable outpatient hospital encounters. ODJFS will be monitoring, on a quarterly basis, the<br />

percentage <strong>of</strong> hospital encounters which contain a revenue code <strong>and</strong> CPT/HCPCS code. A<br />

CPT/HCPCS code must accompany certain revenue center codes. These codes are listed in<br />

Appendix B <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ohio</strong> Administrative Code rule 5101:3-2-21 (fee-for-service outpatient hospital<br />

policies) <strong>and</strong> in the methods for calculating the completeness measures.<br />

Measure: The percentage <strong>of</strong> outpatient hospital line items with certain revenue center codes, as<br />

explained above, which had an accompanying valid procedure (CPT/HCPCS) code. The measure<br />

will be calculated per MCP.<br />

Report Period: For the SFY 2008 <strong>and</strong> SFY 2009 contract periods, performance will be evaluated<br />

using the report periods listed in 1.a.i., Table 1.<br />

Data Quality St<strong>and</strong>ard: The data quality st<strong>and</strong>ard is a minimum rate <strong>of</strong> 95%.<br />

Determination <strong>of</strong> Compliance: Performance is monitored once every quarter for all report periods.
