Medicare Report Updates - July 2020
Monthly Report Updates:
The following reports have been updated with May claims data on July 10th:
- Maryland Primary Care Program Reports (MDPCP)
- CCLF Medicare Analytics & Data Engine (MADE)
- MADE: ECIP View
- Medicare Performance Adjustment (MPA) Monitoring Reports
MPA Monitoring Reports Year 3:
A new report has been adding the MPA Monitoring Reports - Tab 8 MPA Estimated Reward (Penalty) Calculator. Please refer to the updated MPA Y3 Monitoring Reports User Guide for more information.
Delay in Receipt of CCW Data for Use in MPA Y3 Reports
There has been a delay in the release of the full CCW data from CMS. These data are required when updating select metrics in the MPA Y3 Reports. While the national trends throughout the reports have been updated, several metrics continue to reflect January 2020 amounts (including all SAMHSA-related measures). These include 'Suppressed Substance Abuse Costs' in Specialized Drill Downs 1A-1 and 'SAMHSA Cost Delivered at Hospital' (column 8) of the Tab 8 MPA Reward (Penalty) Calculator measures. All the hospital level data, other than SAMHSA-related costs, come from CCLF and are not impacted.
The reporting suite will be updated – and users will be informed – as soon as the full CCW data is made available. As a reminder, since only two months of data are captured in YTD reporting (January-February 2020), the results are expected to change significantly and stabilize over time.
